The team looks relaxed, confident in making plays and taking chances, and not afraid to make many mistakes. Do you think Disco has changed up his game plan? The pace of play and positioning seems to be quite different from those blah games like Minny last Thursday.
To me I see a bit of fire in each of the guys I typically would not-- a desire to succeed if you will. Granted that's from a TV-view perspective. But makes me a happy camper.
And Bailey--he's the real deal I think. Strong like bull - FruitPeddler
I haven't looked back at the games, were those were Nilsson games and he wanted things to be more lock-down style?
I saw it again maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I remember the Huey Lewis rant. Mostly because it's the murder scene. That was great. I don't remember the video tapes scene though.
Edit: Oh that's his go to excuse. Got it. I can't believe I didn't get a movie quote, I'll slink away in shame. - Wetbandit1

everyone should have been frustrated
between the flame and nuck game, then the choke vs the flyers
at home, you should not be getting blown out, and they did in both games
maybe now the pressure is off them a bit and they can avoid gripping the stick tight and just play basic hockey with crisp passes
I enjoy watching the games when I get home from work if there is effort, and it seems to be there now
even lehner looked strong and had much better control of rebounds - homiedclown
He definitely seems to have found his groove. Like what I've seen from Nilsson for the most part as well. The game that was an exception to that is the Minny game last week.

The kid is playing like 26 minutes right now. That's massive.
Watch, the kid plays even more, has a year end minus rating, dippoops take to twitter and start shouting Pysyk>Risto. - TheSabresTaco
Kulikov actually had more ice time than Risto did last night. McCabe's TOI increased a lot from where it's been the last few games as well. There are other guys that can take the pressure off of Risto and it seems that Bylsma does see that to a point, as Risto's ice time was right in the same area it's been all season.

Yup, Kulikov played 27 minutes last night. Playing with 5 defensemen for a lot of the game will do that.
I do agree Risto needs to be at the 24-25 minute mark rather than more than 26 for a long season. I think we'll start to see that more and more as McCabe progresses. I liked his game last night. Also liked Franson last night. Looked much better than all of last season.

Yea its made the D as a whole look better. Now if they could only find a way to reduce Gorges' ice time...
