There is no doubt that GG is a slow learner and may not read the game as wellas some coaches, but he managed the final 2 mins brilliantly. Monny's line on with 2+ mins. Janko's line and Backlund's line take quick shifts pinning the ducks who appeared happy to get a point. Ducksice the puck and GG goes back to the top line and D pairing. He could have rode the game out and taken his chance in OTbut went for the win in regulation.
Johnny sends a soft pass toMonny who is straddling the line, Monny sends a pass in the middle to a streaking Ferland that is behind him. Ferland deftly sends a behind the back pass to a pinching Dougie who waits out Gibson and slides it through the legs.
