Definitely decided to take the night off.It's nice to see them playing hard. It hurts their potential lottery start position but it's fun to watch. It's also good for the kids to get that experience against quality opponents vying for playoff slots.
One word: effort.You have to wonder what is clicking with this team right now in comparison to 2/3 of the season where they were just pissing away games? The team is less talented without AMart and Toffoli. One would hope that it's an indicator of a team that is putting some things together rather than it be just a fluke where a bad team is having a run.
Why isn't Kempe a 40 goal guy -- I mean, just watching him?
