Pretty leaky defensively all night. Gave up way to many odd man breaks. Need to clean that up, but luckily tonight Smith was up for the challenge. Great game from him and hopefully that’s a game that gives him some confidence back.
Really like Mangiapane’s game tonight. Strong on the puck and forecheck and created some chances. Neal I thought was good too. I’m sick of saying he’s close, but tonight I really thought he’d get one. All around the net and just can seem to buy one right now. Great to see them take advantage of the 5 min penalty for that dirty hit. Bring on the Jackets.
