Felt like we had four or so 45’ wristers and that was it. Lots of passes into skates that precipitated dump-ins or turnovers. And recurring theme alert; not handling the opponents’ forecheck well, at all. They need to hit a couple home run plays when they’re being smothered in their own zone — keep teams honest. A lot of coaches following the same playbook on Boston. Successfully so.
And indifferent play on home ice is not a great way to start off the second half. Break out the little ammonia sticks, crack em and everybody get a noseful before puck drop.
