5 points in 3 three games. Even with another lead lost for no good reason really, that should start helping with the confidence and the general mood.
Missed about the first half of the game, but from what little I saw of Blair Jones I liked. Brings the right kind of aggressiviness and looked really big out there.
Colborne with a great game, very close to scoring in the SO too. I hope they keep Bouma - Colborne - Jones together for a while, looks like that line could be a keeper. They didn't look that great in their own zone, but they caused some real chaos in the other end and I'm sure the opposing lines were not thrilled to play them. Some hard physical play there.
Wideman with a terrible night, sheesh. Butler-Wideman seems like a really bad pairing. On the other hand, for some reason we've been getting points with that being one of the pairings, so maybe there's some dark coaching magic going on that I'm just not seeing.
I wonder if the vets had been out drinking together or something, they all were just all really bad. (Or maybe it's just that the young guys can play after a night of drinking?
)
Berra was clearly a bundle of nerves again in the 3rd period. I'm not sure if it's the team making him nervous, the other way around, or if it's a feedback loop thing, but in any case let's hope he doesn't take too long to get it under control.
Russell with another good game. Really liking that guy.
After a few games, yeah, Smid looks like a good pickup. Brings physicality, decent allround game, very consistent effort. We're a bit short on those guys.
Baertchi and Monahan looked dangerous, but also a bit fancy. That said, they seem to be moving forward again after a bit of a lull.
