Just watched the game after listening to Hennessey during. Few thoughts:
- I love that "4th" line. OD looked great tonight and Pogs was in the right place the whole game. Good chemistry from these three. 7 points. I love when we roll four lines like that and last Saturday.
- Bryn has elevated his game to a big time level. First goal was speed and power, second goal showed a laser scoring touch. Fun to watch.
- Zane was good. I'm on board with him staying in tomorrow night. He's got so much confidence right now. Niagara only pressed a couple times, but Zane played cool and outside that softie, was perfect on his angles once again. Wish this kid could get a shutty. He deserved it tonight.
- Niagara, for being a team that has little skill, plays with zero grit. I expected to seem them plug and hit, but man, they tried playing an up-tempo game without the necessary team skill. I expect nothing less than a blowout again tomorrow.
- J Schmaltz showed some nifty play tonight. Was active, moving the puck and jumping into the play at the perfect times. Would LOVE to see this kid get back to the level he was playing at during the stretch run last season.
- Leave Pooly at F. He's done quite the job up there.
