After watching the 3rd period, I have to agree. I think both teams didn't do that good of a job defending, including both Helle and Rinne.
My take on it was we weren't playing all that great, missing 2 key D-men, missing our shutdown C, but it was almost a coin flip on who could have won.
Also, read that Little and Myers weren't practicing today, and had a maintenance day. Someone surmised they could be down with a cold. If so, that explains there not-so-great play last night.
I have no doubt Helle will bounce back. And once we get Trouba, Toby, and Lowry back, we'll be in good shape.

EDIT: Oh, and I never want to see Morrow and Chiarot as a pairing ever again. (unless it's another teams' first pairing
)
