Finally a game to build off of.
Some guys starting to show signs of life. I’ve been absolutely hammering on Nurse, but he actually had a good game tonight, using his feet to step into the middle of the ice to make plays rather than just missing passes. He still had a few blips, but good for the most part.
Bottom 6 and the third line especially were really good. I love having a player like Henrique on the team that relies on his brain to play the game rather than just raw talent. He knows how to play hockey. Skinner had another great game too.
Thought that all of the top guys weren’t good again, but slowly some signs of life are emerging there. This type of win with that finish might wake them up, but they are still a ways off their normal game.
Now they need to build on this and not shit their pants in Nashville. The Predators are desperate, they will be on their toes.
