Well that was a rewarding game. A real preview of things to come with Eklund, Smith, Askarov, Zetterlund, and Macklin putting a stamp on this game.
I was happy for Kunin for finally burying a breakaway, so he can at least face himself in the mirror.
Hopefully Askarov can, like, find a bit of chill on those adventures into the trapezoid when the entire opposition is setup in the zone
Even with all the points, I thought Macklin’s best play was late in the third when he curled to the halfboards, attacked the slot, and then chipped an insane pass through two defenders to a wide open Zetterlund all alone in front of Rittich. Zetterlund didn’t score, but Jesus, I watched the pass like 6 times; the hands and touch on the pass where truly amazing.
