So that's a nice start.

I missed the Hornqvist goal because, ironically, the wife and I are planning a Vegas trip

Great period by the pens. Surprising to get two earlier ones past MAF.

I’m gonna tip my cap to Jack Johnson, who has been playing some pretty damn good hockey lately. He’s been a whipping boy on here and I’ve had my issues with him, but he seems to be playing a lot better. Good for him.

Hell of a game. You knew VGK would come back. Jarry was great.

Better... but still has his WTF moments and is perhaps the most awkward on the backhand NHL player I can ever remember.

He still has some physical limitations. He’s going to be that way because he ain’t getting faster or thinner.

He’s been better with his stick in the defensive zone and seems to be clearing the crease well; better with his body.
