Did I mention all these back to backs is friggin ridiculous?
I thought Miro looked solid. Saw him hit some people too. Lapi looked good.
Maybe we should put Ovi/Kuzy/Phillips on a line and just get it over with....call them L2 but give them 9 min a game :wackysmile:

OV is currently tied with Gretzgy for most empty net goals at 56.

I'd of been happy with Ovi and the GWG in regulation, but all good.
Boys looked outa gas in the 3rd, but sacked up, or lucked out.
Willy continues to look awesome.
