The confidence on this team right now is unbelievable, shaky/rusty goalie, gio + brodie having a bad game? No problem, we will still score 2 goals late in the game to send it to OT and a shootout win.
What if these young guys gain more confidence, then what? Right now they seem to like to feel the opposing team out for 2 periods and tend to make a statement in the 3rd. What if they start playing the way they do in the 3rd for the entire game?

I think a lot of our 3rd period success is due to our hard work rate which wears the other team down and they just aren't in as good condition as we are.
It's like what I've been told happens in a long horse race. The fast finishers aren't really running faster, they're just maintaining their pace while other horses drop off.
However it works it's got to be frustrating for the losing team and we are building a winning attitude.
