Well Vladar was great. Not much else to ask for from your backup. Best player on the team, by a fair margin.
Oliver was hit and miss, but that's what you're going to get from him. The odd beauty offensive play, the odd head shaking blunder in his own zone. You just hope the good outweighs the bad at the end of the night. I don't mind it. And after his gaffe he busted his stick over the crossbar, love seeing the emotion.
This team need the top two lines to lead the way with effort, intensity and pace. Have to be far more proactive, and a lot less reactive.
Really need a win Sunday to stop the bleeding and get the pendulum going the other way again.
