I don't think that's a fair summary of last night's game. Hofer was excellent and the Isles did a slightly better job generating grade A chances than the Blues. But Sorokin also played very well and bailed out the Isles a number of times. It was a well deserved 1st star for Hofer and we don't win that game without him bringing his very best effort. But you need that type of effort from your goalie when you are playing against a top 5 goalie in the league who is also bringing his A game.Hope the Blues identity isn’t living and dying by the goalie standing on his head. I’ll give them benefit of the doubt since it’s early but it’s really not a winning strategy.
Have to tip your hat to Armstrong for rebuilding the entire left side D in one offseason. Not easy. Broberg is a STUD. Double offer sheet will go down as one of DA’s savviest moves.
That wasn't a game where we should have lost 4-0. We only trailed the Isles by 1 in each of shot attempts, shots, and scoring chances at 5 on 5. Again, I'd give the edge to the Isles, but I thought we did a lot of things well last night beyond watching our goalie stand on his head.
