Now I don't want to sound like I am being negative after a win but just wanted to point out the third goal by Foligno.
Bennett was on the ice with Ferland and Brouwer. Ferland forechecks and the puck goes to the left wing where Bennett also fore checks in deep and misses his stick check. leading to Brouwer once again having to cover for a pinching Bennett. One pass and Foligno has blazing speed coming up against one of our slower d-men with absolutely zero support in the neutral zone.
Sure you could say Engelland shouldn't have been beat 1 on 1 but you can also say that Bennett, the center on that line can not be pinching in that deep and miss his stick check leaving the neutral zone so open.
Corsi and all that doesn't record stuff like that.
