Sometimes you eat the Bear, sometimes the Bear eats you.
Torts was happier with the team tonight than against Detroit.
And he's right, they played a solid game, but missed on too many opportunities, Brink gets a shot through Shesterkin's arm off the post, York fires high on a wide open top of the net, otherwise Shesterkin did his usual number against the Flyers.
Too many breakdowns leading to odd man rushes, but 2 goals were off deflections that were perfectly placed and another a point shot through a screen. This is what happens when you don't block long range wrist shots.
Couts line was bad, so was Seeler-Drysdale. Frost line was meh.
Cates line had another good game. York-Sanheim were fine.
Richard and Abols had a good showing, Abols isn't fast but he's big, smart and physical with good hands. Richard's speed and skill add a dimension. You can see why they play ahead of Lycksell, he wasn't bad but these two bring more to the table.
