You can't go to the pharmacy and buy a pack of experience. This will pay off for years to come.
Yes we were outplayed, but to me the glaring difference was that the Monahan line was thoroughly dominated by the Sedins. It wasn't even close. Every time the Backlund line gained some momentum with a great shift the Sedins grabbed it right back with a big shift against the Monahan line. Willie is probably going to get a ton of praise for his bench management, but its pretty easy when you have last change and your top guys were doing what they were doing.
Johnny continues to rise to the occasion, his double shift on the 4th line to draw that penalty late was great to see. Hudler is either very uncomfortable with some sort of injury or he needs to find another gear. I have no idea about Monahan. I watch what he does and I can't really see a player that is fighting an injury. He doesn't play an energy game, more of a cerebral game. Maybe he is a bit overwhelmed with that matchup.
Either way, Game six at home with a chance to clinch. Doesn't get much better.
