This.There is something very major to be said about a team finding ways to win when they’re banged up, not playing their best, stars struggling, new coach and players and so on.
I see people on Twitter saying stuff like “you can be happy they’re winning but upset at how they’re playing” which, sure of course, but that’s removing all of the context around this last stretch. Missing 1/3 of their top 6, Greg McKegg in the lineup, Hunt on PP2, Panarin not himself.
If the team is finding ways to win when they’re not at their best, that is an encouraging sign to me not discouraging.
The mark of a good team is finding ways to win games like these and those against Nashville and Toronto and not finding ways to lose like all of Quinn's teams would have done.
