It's so weird how whenever Johnny has jumped on the ice in 3 on 3 OT and gained possession, I've jokingly said "here's the game, right now" out loud and every time it HAS in fact been game over right there. Tonight I just said it almost matter of factly, knowing that we indeed are the kings of OT, and Johnny just gets it done.
Also first game this season won on the back of the goaltender. Great game, Ramo. Some heady plays, including jumping out of the way of that weird shot into the crease from the sharp angle. It was really nice to see how calm and collected he was despite everyone half-assing it on defence and just watching Nashville cycle.
Lots of holes to patch still, but if we can keep finding ways to win while we figure it out then that's just fine with me.
