Happy Freaken New Year! Tops in the league! Can it get any better than this? You bet it can. This was a big two points, heading into a tough west coast road trip. We needed this confident win, to be hitting on all cylinders before heading west.
Zibad is on fire. His defensive play has just been outstanding.
Krieds hasn't slumped all season.
How is it Lafreniere whiffs on a shot in open ice, hesitates to shoot between the dots, and still has a goal and an assist in the game?
Welcome back Lindgren. It's like he was never out. Taking a puck in the face, throwing crushing hits, and even getting on the scoreboard.
Not to mention Strome stepping up in Panarin's absence, Goodrow having a career year, Georgie proving us all wrong, Zac Jones looking like a NHL D-man, and on and on....
This team is on a roll. And it couldn't happen at a better time. We need to take advantage of being fairly healthy during this COVID season.
