Dan Vladar was really good. Lucky at times, maybe, but really, really good tonight. A shutout well earned.
The entire team in front of him was committed to defense. Something hard to do against a very good offensive team in NJ. Nice to see after back to back poor efforts on the road.
Huberdeau and Mantha were lucky to combine on that goal in the 3rd. All game long they both drove me crazy with lazy plays and sloppy handling of the puck (Mantha more than Huberdeau...at least Huberdeau kills penalties pretty well). All is forgiven for now, but both guys need to do better.
The refs were ####ing awful. I try not to complain about refereeing, but they missed 3 ridiculously obvious calls against NJ, and they called 2 of the weakest slashing calls against Calgary that I've ever seen.
All in all, no major complaints. Glad to see a win after that last stretch.

I thought Huberdeau had a great game
