Missed the game, but accurately called the score. Brother texted me while I was out saying he went to the bathroom for a minute and came back to see a 2-0 deficit turn into a 3-2 lead - wild game!
Nice to see Petey on the board, and a goal from every line. You can see from the highlights that the counter attack from this team is much better from a structural perspective than last year - it’s a theme that’s been touched on since the start of camp, and it’s been cool watching it play out in action this year so far (even if it’s only in the highlights like tonight).
Saw Debrusk with limited ice time - I’m presuming he did not get his motor going. In theory his best fit in this lineup was always with Miller, but the dude needs to hustle out there and grind in the corners for puck retrievals. If he plays like a souped up PDG, he’ll grab a lot of ES points on the Miller line.
Also huge props to Bains getting his first goal - I was at a party with a bunch of Punjabi people in Ontario and the whole place went nuts as soon as he scored (even though they’re leafs fans). Really cool moment.
Was gonna @ you for calling the score lmao. Good one.
Splitting up the teams best line and keeping the teams 3rd best line. Ballzy.
