Just watching the first period (which I missed live) and I am fairy certain that Monahan should have been credited with an assist on Lucic's goal. Gudbranson forwarded it up to Monahan, who chipped it over to Lucic.
Also, what a period. These guys are playing some hockey right now!. Hard working, fast paced, relentless forechecking is the best hockey there is. 2003/04 was my favourite year of hockey in my entire life. And while it's early, it's a small sample size, and it isn't playoffs, the style they are playing right now is similar to that.
I hope they keep this up, because man it is fun to watch!
