Orenji is on a roll ... he'll do the GDT's until we lose ... I'll Add my GDT post after into his thread ... if that's OK with everyone ? Let's keep the good times rolling
what I liked is that we hit a bumpy spot and didn't buckle. Got down by a goal and continued working hard and the end result, while not perfect was good.
There were times tonight where we were caught flat footed and too many times that we play positional hockey but did stupid things but good enough for a win.
I was very happy they went with Stoll on the 4th shot. Like I said in the GDT when you have a goalie as bad as Niemi, just shoot the puck! To many bad things can happen when you deke.
Stoll's penalty shot move is like Aucoin's was last season, it is almost unstoppable if he picks the corner. And Stoll is pretty accurate with his wrister.
In fact going forward I think it should be Kopitar-JJ-Stoll

The difference tonight was Ponikarovsky and the 4th line. Even in OT, Richardson had a great chance, when our 4th line is rolling like that, we've got a good chance to beat anyone in the NHL

We ALWAYS had a good chance to beat anyone in the NHL! Fixed.
Another feel good win. This team needs to keep it going!!
