As I’ve said Kempe needs a kick now and then. Hopefully being dropped to the 3rd line serves that purpose.Credit to Kempe for delivering. And all things considered, McLellan and the players did well enough to win.
Need to be mindful of fool's gold though. There's still a lot of improvement.
There is a massive need to improve, primarily consistent mental effort. The way they blow hot and cold has got to be psychological and it’s somewhere between coaching, player leadership, dressing room dynamics and individual responsibility. Seeing them beat Boston demonstrates that in spades and highlights a wider issue that just a bad game of two because it keeps happening.
