That was way more stressful than it needed to be. Thankfully we got the W and the early lead in the series. Sutter will not be pleased at all with that 2nd period.
Good to see the team rally behind Markstrom in the 3rd and get him the win though. He knows he struggled tonight and I have no doubt that both he and the team will be much better defensively in game 2.
Another lesson learned: never take your foot off the gas when you have a team on the ropes, especially when they have a guy like McDingus who can score at will if you give him the time and space to do it.
