In soccer, touching the ball is part of the rules. If you hit the ball, you can take a man down. If you miss the ball, it's a trip. Not sure about hockey, but that is a common way sports are called.
I thought lots of good happened, nice to see Backlund back from the dead, Lucic was a monster.
I feel like Mangiapane makes the players on his line better. That's huge.
Dube is for real a dangerous NHL-caliber winger. How wonderful!
I'm not sure if I should be screaming at a lack of system or praising Ward for fixing things between period one and two. I'm really confused about what the team's style and identity is, and concerned about how poor the zone exits looked. Scrambly and uncertain.
How nice is it that all the Edmonton fans are gnashing their teeth in anticipation of getting Smith back in net? LOL.
