Petes nearly got goalied again. They need to finish better. Still not completely in sync but they did have 65 shots.
Curious thought experiment I had tonight - the Petes are deep in the playoffs and are in a tie game, who are the top 4 D you want out (no bottom, this is meant to be a positive).
For me:
1. Zanetti - and his return obviously what sparked this. Just very good at both ends.
2. Mayer - the only other guy I think you can consider a real two way defenseman. Good offense, made the interception and pass that put tonight's game away for the Petes in his own end.
3. White - hopefully at some point he's top of this list and I thought he was really good tonight but full body of work in Peterborough this is a sell out for offense move with some risk.
4. McCoy - almost the opposite of White, he's not scoring or setting up the winning goal but they're likely not giving it up either. His plus- minus (bad stat generally but not necessarily for this scenario) would maybe say he should be higher.
