If it was such a coaching clinic by Gallant, then it wouldn’t have taken a miracle goal that was caused by our own player’s mistake in the dying minutes to change things around. I guess if Gulutzan had that we would’ve won 3-1 in regulation.
If that game showed me anything last night it’s that we have a team and a coaching staff that can hang with the big boys. The Knights are the best team in the NHL (points%) and our team played them well enough to win minus the flukey mistake. I think the coaching staff did a pretty good job in preparing this team yesterday because I’ve seen the Knights absolutely kick the doors down on other teams this season.
