Wow that was amazing! I have been waking up at 04:00 many nights to watch the team play this season because it was obvious they had something going this year. But, not in my wildest dreams did I believe that they would make the playoffs this year, and to be honest I had no faith in Bednar. But I am very happy to be eating crow now. It truly was a story book ending to the regular season tonight.
I am starting think that Girard is worth the prize of Duchene alone. I don't think we should underestimate how important his ability to distribute and move the puck up the ice is to the team. It has been especially obvious since EJ went down. Most of us probably thought Barrie was the one who would have to step up, but I thought it was Girard. He may be my new favorite player. He is just such a treat to watch.
