The biggest takeaway for me this first game under Darryl was the breakout and puck movement through the neutral zone, almost unbelievable that there could be such a big difference between coaches.
There was a couple times under Ward in a few games where the D almost put the puck into their own net, that's just bad hockey and makes the good players look really bad.
I thought Mikael Backlund had a good game and he lead all players in ice time as well.
Good fight by Milan Lucic as well.
Was a good fun game to watch for sure.
