Great performance all around!
I think the carbo bashers should eat some crow tonite. This team looked very well organized and played motivated from the opening puck drop.
Oh yeah. Why was Gomez being such a punk tonite? I don't know if I've seen that from him before.

As if that would ever happen, they're like addicts refusing to admit their problem.
The coach deserves credit for the team's recent turnaround too - he's got Dandenault in there actually playing good minutes, he got Steve Begin & Mad Max to suddenly become hockey players again, he deserves credit for Tom K on line 2 and he put together the top line.
For finally putting Andrei Kostitsyn with Koivu - thanks Carbo!! It could've been 10-2 tonight if King Henrik wasn't so good.
