Get the first goal, win the game.
CGY playing on back to back nights. They lost to a team they should have beaten, and will inherently be a bit more urgent you'd think. That said, they are playing a far more structured game than last year, and really rely on a full compliment of buy-in from their players. If we manage to score that first goal, frustration will set in to a degree, and the structure will likely break thereafter.
If there is a way to be aggressive and patient all at once, we need to do that right off the hop.
I think the word I am looking for is assertive. They need to be assertive. Take the the game by the balls, and start on time.
3-1 Leafs
