Thoughts from the game:
1. Nordstrom's celebration was awesome. You could tell how much that goal meant to him. Versteeg also wanted a goal badly. A lot of scorn on the ice tonight.
2. Speaking of the ice...HOLY ****, that ice was terrible. Worst I've seen. Players were falling everywhere, the puck was like a superball too many times to count. Worked out in the Canes favor because Chicago couldn't get any cohesive movement up the ice.
3. No player needs the ASG break more than Noah Hanifin. His past couple games have been off, and tonight was one of his worst. Peter's had a few conversations with him on the bench.
4. On the opposite spectrum, this was my first live viewing of Slavin. The kid has got it locked down. I don't know what "it" is, but he's got it.
