Really impressive win vs a good team. After going down 0-1 and losing Boeser we didn't give up anything catastrophic at 5v5. Needed some work and help by Lankinen on the PK, but it felt like the refs were giving it to us by taking Hughes and Hronek multiple times too.

Life signs from Petey with some really intense shifts. Needs to start stacking them up and taking the puck up ice like a true C but good baby steps.

Myers had a really strong game which helped Soucy (feels like an alternate timeline?) and really stabilized the D. VD looked like ass on the 0-1 goal but righted the ship next the Brannstrom - not the first time this happened this season.

Jake DeBrusk figuring it out has allowed us to cash in on the minutes we spend stacking Miller-Hughes. Also the Blueger line plays like a glove together, which gives Joshua a green light to eventually try to slide into the top 6.

If we miss Boeser for more games, I don't see how they don't call up Lekkerimaki to try to fill a top 6 hole.
Wel Joshua should be back next game so we probably don’t need to call up Lekk even if Boeser misses time. Let’s hope he doesn’t though, concussions suck.

Very encouraging performance against a pretty good team, and without Demko, Joshua, and Boeser for most of the game.

The soft schedule so far was making me a bit nervous about how good this team truly is this season.

Maybe they move Heinen back to ease Joshua into the lineup but the Blueger line is playing too well to break up.

We could see Hoglander/Sprong move up but given both NHL and AHL squads are back at home, it feels like the stars are aligning a little bit for a cup of coffee.
