Good win (any win is good) but the D still needs a lot of work. They allowed the Kings way too much time to set up shop in their offensive zone and skate circles around us on too many occasions. It seems that we have a real problem disrupting the flow on 5v5 once the opponent gets established in the zone. Hopefully we take it to C-bus tonight.
PS I wonder if the dumbass who threw his hat on Kuzy's way late empty netter feels like an idiot this morning. Hope it wasn't a favorite hat.

Anyone know why Vrana looked the way he did after he scored? Not his usual celebration.

Key issue here is lack of physical play. Odd thing is we can bring it when we want to, but for some reason in games like last night we seemed afraid of our own shadows and allowed the Kings to rule the ice. FFS, how many times did Orlov back COMPLETELY off a board battle for the puck seemingly afraid to hit or get hit by an opponent? The Kings had little or no reason to look over their shoulders. This improved for the last 25 minutes, but nowhere near what we are capable of. This has to end tonight or we are doomed. Tonight needs to be WAR!!! I'm hoping maybe they were saving some up for the important game tonight against a top division rival.

He looked like he had a toothache or something. Usually he's quite animated.
