No Cups

So I didn't stay up to watch the game, I had work for the first time in 3 weeks and got home very tired, so tried to stay awake, but succumbed to shut eye about 30 minutes before the game started. Maybe me not watching live is the good omen this team needs, let's see what happens on Saturday when I'm at another sporting event when we face off with the Rangers.

Enough of that, were we playing great hockey? No. Did we get some luck? Yes.

How many times can we say an individual had a brain fart moment that nearly or indeed did cost us? None that I can recall having just watched the game through. That's the sort of improvement I'm happy to see, we know that Kossi will be beaten glove side lots, we know it's his weakness, so why keep highlighting it? We have to believe that the coaching staff are trying to work on it, though it doesn't seem to be working and till it does or we get rid it's going to keep happening. Apart from he did what he's paid to do and did will during the OT and Shoot Out.

Bear and Persson impressed for me. Again nothing special, but for two rookies they did the job, they weren't out of place and for rookie D that's what you want. Gain some confidence, from doing the job your asked then add to your game, Bear looks to want to start shooting the puck more and that's great to see. Giving these two the run of games right now will only help for when Bouch and Broberg are coming through.

As I started off, this performance didn't blow me away, but it's early days with a new coach and the signs are looking good. It's also way to early to start predicting we may have cracked the league and be play off bound, but if we carry on doing the simple things right, limiting the mistakes we've got a better chance of reaching post season that we'll have over many of the recent years.



If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
