Hammer played well. Wideman still makes me nervous, e.g. today's slow-motion disaster at point on PP, when he fell down and fanned on puck from prone position.
Speaking of slow-motion disasters, how many shorthanded breakaways did we give up today? I think team is still trying to figure out how PP will work with Ovie at half-boards/high slot. #8 had some bad giveaways on the PP.
Holtby played great.
I was kind of surprised 21 called his own number on the 2-on-1 with Ovie, and then not-all-that surprised when he rifled the shot a mile wide.
It does seem like the Rags would have been better first-round match-up for us, but I have given up trying to figure out match-ups. I thought we were sitting pretty last year when we drew Tampa Bay in 2nd Round.
I am guessing it will take me about 3 minutes of Game 1 for me to be thoroughly sick of Nose Face Killah and Lucic.
