Respectfully disagree. There were a couple good shifts, but they were trapped by the Getzlaf line a lot in the first. And the goal came about because they were first trapped and then were slow at a clearing attempt. Had Russell not deflected it in, there was a Duck waiting backdoor. So it was fluke, but after being schooled for quite a while by the top line.
