Hiller looks a LOT steadier since the win against LA before Christmas -- he seems more relaxed in net. He's been covering his angles WAY better than he was - and seems to have a good feel for when to smother the puck and just slow things down. Nice to see.
That was a tough game to watch -- a lot of close calls, but also a lot of really good things. The Kings are a bit team and push us off the puck easily - but the boys are figuring out how to make up for that and recover pucks just as fast. Lots of little chips after they get beat - and they get the puck back.
Glennie made a few - and one really important - play coming back into the defensive zone. Maybe he's finally bought in. And, just when he does - he scores too. Nice to see as well.
Johnny and Huds looked small out there - but they figured out their own way around that - skill and speed. Sutter looked pissed!
Great win!! This season has been one serious roller coaster!
