Not even mad.

Talbot didn’t play poorly but I feel Rittich was the guy to go too. Yes Talbot had a good game last outing but let’s not get into the ride the hot hand strategy we have seen crash and burn in the past. Rittich is our starter. Talbot came in and won one. Did his job. Let’s not get cute. Follow up with our starter next time as we should.

Monahan looked like he had some edge. I like that. I hope this is here to stay.

Czarnik was buzzzzzzin. Making a case to stay on that 2nd line he was extremely noticeable out there.

Lucic is quietly impressing me. He hustles back doesn’t float. Finishes his checks and he has helped produce goals so far. Some he doesn’t get credited on the score sheet for.

Good to see Reider score. Hope that’s the monkey off his back and he can put up some depth scoring for us.

Tkachuk was noticeably unnoticeable for a guy who is the spark to the fire in our engine. We needed him to make an impact on the score sheet or elsewhere.
