Not a great game by the boys overall - especially defensively - but they never quit, and they found a way to get it done. They are nothing, if not entertaining! Which is such a stark contrast to last year.
And on that note, it was really interesting to read the comments from Philly fans about Hakstol. They sounded exactly like GG: fast skaters but slow team, move up as a group (making it too easy to defend), passing made difficult because the players were too close together, trying to protect a one goal lead with a shell, and boring, boring hockey.
I mean, that is exactly what we were complaining about for 2 years. I wonder if they came up through the ranks together?
