Great effort for a nice win! Nice to see the team hold on for the win.

Shoutout to the PP which won the game in the end. Backlund line looked great and Backs is starting to heat up. God bless the Tanev/Hanifin pairing.

Interesting insight on Valimaki's interview post-game about preference of the North American play style. Said due to the smaller size rinks obviously you play the tighter gaps more and he prefers that style of play vs how he would stand in the middle on the European rinks. Took a bit of getting used to which makes sense given how he struggled a bit to start the season. Now he's used to it and suits his style of play. Can see it in how he has improved the past couple games. Excited to see him develop as his career goes on. Also surprised to hear he speaks perfect English. Can't even tell he's Finnish by listening to him.
