It's weird to say, but I think they needed a couple of
these kinds of wins to rediscover themselves. Yes, they shouldn't have to come from behind in such ways to win, but last year there was a (albeit, unconventional) recipe for success. And this year they haven't had it. They felt like a completely different team with different chemistry. And these two games, they have been the first time this year they've truly looked and felt like the no-name team that crashed the playoff party last season. This is the blue print - no, NOT allowing 3-4 goals and giving up leads - but where the team is exuding that passion and confidence that they can AND will come back in any situation. These are the game that breed the swagger that they were rife and dripping with down the stretch last year. They needed some backbone and now they've may have *fingers crossed* found it.
Gaudreau was flying. Hudler made a difference. Rally and tie it after an absolute deflating goal. Giordano leading the way and putting pucks in the net, and Brodie moving around like he's skating on clouds. This was something straight outta last April.
