Decent 20 I guess. Looked real good for about 5 minutes then it kinda went downhill. Hope we have enough gas to play 60. Or at least enough to outlast their old ass team.  :raspberry:

Oh well, fun while it lasted. Carlson missing 3/4 of an open net set the tone.

Carlson handing the puck away for the breakaway set the tone
