So...is Christensen legit? His advanced metrics look great, and when I see him on the ice, I'm often never disappointed.

Did we randomly develop a good top 6/decent top 4 defenseman out of nowhere?

It was a solid game aside some errors.
Biggest complaint is still the amount of odd man rushes and penalties.

I dont know what was injected into Kent Johnson in the offseason, but if the fire and intensity we saw out of that kid tonight persists he could net 50.

Seeing the defense actually bail out a goalie a couple times is very weird.
Only one weak-ish goal out of elvis but a good outing for him.
Christiensen is also a nice surprise.

We might not have got the W but this team played like an NHL team last night. They played with hustle and unity. I love how they have the defense pinch it makes it difficult for the opponents. I still can’t believe they overturned that goal, pure crap but this team is only going to get better.

KJ, Fantilli, Werenski, Chinakhov all had a decent game

add Elvis to that list he looks good!

JJ needs to sit next game, costed us the game.

yeah i thought it was a good goal, didn't look like he was in the paint IMO ( he was in and out before contact )

KJ is so much faster than he used to be it’s actually wild.

Honestly I think a good bit of that is confidence .. he’s put on a bit of strength , probably got a little quicker … I think we are seeing with Fantilli and KJ why Krill Kaprisov blossomed into a star under Evason. You saw under Evason right away putting KJ on the powerplay, even the Pk in camp. They make a mistake , they aren’t benched … last night you had Fantilli flub a clear trying to exit into a possible rush , ended up costing us … he was out there the next shift and almost scored … That right there is night and day difference between Evason and the culture he’s already instilled , contrasted to PV from last year .
