The first 10 minutes looked every bit as bad as their worst efforts but after that they played much better and I like how they didn't sit back with the lead in the 3rd period and continued to generate offense.
Only downside really was the play of the captain again. Hartley needs to figure out what he can do to help Gio out and maybe a game where his ice time is reduced as I don't know if he's trying to do too much but more often than not he's hurting the team. Maybe in a reduced role he would simplify things and get back to playing smarter hockey.
