Sat down and got to watch the game last night, the one thing that really stood out for me was the fact we didn't let the Kings intimidate us and push us around, we always pushed back. There was a number of occasions where Bouma (or was it Byron, I always get those two mixed up) was pushing and shoving with Doughty on the boards, giving up a lot of height but he never backed down. The kings are a big team and they try to grind you down but we never let them, we kept pushing back, even though we are a smaller team.
Bollig was finally playing the way I expected him too when we traded for him, playing the body, dumping players on their a$$, annoying the other team, always in the scrums when he is on the ice. We need more of this from him as the season wears on.
