I thought it was a decent game overall. St. Louis is big, fast, hard to play against, and have a very good goalie. Assuming they stay healthy they will be a very tough out in the playoffs again.

I’ll echo other’s thoughts on Johnny, I think he is finding little joy in things and lacks confidence. It’s mostly his head that is the problem, but I also think he could do more to be prepared mentally and physically. If he truly wants to be a great player, he will have to make the commitment to do so - as he has all the natural skill to do so.

I didn’t see anyone mention it yet but I was skimming the thread, I loved the hit by Bennett on Mceachern. He can be so valuable when he plays like that.
