Game 2...Cleveland vs Rockets
1st...Lindstrome starts period like last time. Quick goal off faceoff. M slightly hurt in scrum. M doing his bully thing by taking extra post whistle shots. M penalty for obstruction...more like a face shot. Other then usual suspects, not as much hitting. R nice sidestep to find open lane. Fowler is human sponge.
Solid play by M and R
2nd..M on 1st PP. R on 2nd PP. Game getting chippy. M hard board work. R takes board hit on knee, bad clearing. LX is in normal nasty mode gets roughing penalty. M 1st PK. Lindstrome 2nd PK. M speared, no call. M 1st PP. R 2nd PP. Eng on point, R on left wall. Fowler speared, LX immediate retaliation. LX very aggressive PK.
Another solid period. If there is a system, it's pretty loose. On the PK where it should be strictly zone, there is still m/m chasing.
3rd...LX, Davidson, M on the ice, innevitable scrum. M goes on offensive journey, gets covered. Big difference from 3 months ago. Very chippy.
R is not showing any knee problems and getting more physical. M is playing error free and nasty. LX, Davidson and M is going to come with barrels of headache pills for SMarty.
