Now let’s see them build on it. Last game they seemed to lose their energy and urgency in the first period intermission.

Nice to see after a pk. Hopefully, & I agree. These guys have struggled with leads & coming out strong. Sort of related, don't they have a good record after recording a loss?

The bad goal last game seemed to deflate them

Dach doesn't look comfortable tonight. Which is weird, because he was good last game. Weak on his skates & along the boards.

A bad goal against deflates them, a bad referee call - they do need to learn to be less fragile on the ice.

(a) he’s gotten better as the game has gone on

(2) he’s keeping Foley honest - no drivel like with Olczyk

Can we stop the fancy drop passes please? They seem to end up on the wrong stick.

I will agree on this point.

Adb cleaned up the garbage. 2-0

Nice!

Dach extends some zone time and Dinky buries it. I think Hagel's good with whomever...

Not a fun shift. Dach took a crosscheck & Hagel too the puck to the crest. Out working their opponent, hopefully we see more of that from everyone consistently.

Amen to that!

You bring up a good point. The shift wasn’t fun. The cup winning hawks had “not fun shifts” and “not fun games” but that’s how you win .

A great comment by Gretzky on what it takes to win;

"Only a few short years earlier we were watching Trottier, Bossy, Billy Smith and Denis Potvin and the other great players they had on TV," Gretzky said before his Coyotes took on the Islanders on Sunday afternoon. "Then a few years later, we were playing against them in the finals. We were on a pretty good roll coming into the (1983) series and thinking we were invincible."

The loss in 1983 was a humbling experience for the up-start Oilers, who were young and confident. However, Gretzky credits that loss with teaching the Oilers what it takes to win. And in fact, the Oilers would ultimately win four of the next five Stanley Cups and five of the next seven.

"We walked by their locker room in the corridor and saw after they won they were too beat up to really enjoy it and savor the victory at that moment," said Gretzky. "We were able to walk out of there pretty much scot free. We had so much respect for the Islanders players and the Islanders teams that we learned immediately you have to take it to another level in order to win a Stanley Cup. And that’s what we did. We learned from it and often credit for the Islanders players and Islanders teams for teaching us exactly what it’s all about and how hard it is to win."

Nice to see Dach up after that hit.

Hopefully Carolina does us a favor and wins in regulation over trashville.

Looked like he got hit in the face by fists, causing his crashing into the boards.

Yet, Mitchell gets called. Welp, another pk. & another.

Suter with the en.

Where's the negative party after a victory? & a shutout even with great defense. Kinda weird?

Hawks suck. They could only beat the wings by 4.

No matter. Good job Keith and Murphy pk. Then with lots of time remaining Wings pull goaltender for extra skater and Suter gets his 5th vs Detroit of his 12 goals!

In AHL action Nalimov starts. They trail, 3-2, in third period vs Wolves. With a defense featuring four rookies, slow slow Franson and Osipov (sucks) as does one rookie too (Krutil) only 24-22 behind in SOG. Alty has a goal and Soderlund is in lineup.

Great to see Subban get shutout. His second this year. Pred's loosing but it is Dallas we want more to loose. 6-2 final record vs Detroit this season.
