Good effort tonight. We're a faster team than Kitchener and we were forcing a lot of neutral zone turnovers in the first half of the game. It was a glimpse of what this team will be next year. The loss of Allard really shows what he means to this team. His elite, elite defensive play is so important.
Lalonde lost focus at the end of the 2nd and had a really bad third period, but then was brilliant in overtime and in the shootout. Unfortunately, that inconsistency has been the story of his career, like we also saw in the Kingston game.
At the very least, we showed that we can compete against a pretty likely playoff opponent.
