Honestly an awesome game to watch despite the result. Thought we were the better team, We’re definitely not out of this series. Johnny and Elias were great. Thought the 4th line played strong, Lucic had a great game. I thought Mangi and Dube were strong. And I noticed Kylington making some great offensive plays despite sometimes looking like he’s trying to do too much in the defensive zone. I actually thought he was playing forward at one point in the last ten minutes of the third.
With that said Tkachuk is playing stunned. He hasn’t done anything since first period of game 1. Backlund has the puck dying on his stick a lot, and Toffoli looks like he is playing injured. I’d like to try Dube on his spot on the first PP unit. Jarnkrok was brought in to provide some strong D and some mid level offence has been a failure so far.
I’m feeling fairly calm that this team can even this series. Need some puck luck and a few others to step up.
