Positives
Hedberg- made several key saves to keep us in the game and earned a well deserved shutout
Bernier- 2 huge goals
Greene/Larsson- Larsson had a brutal giveaway early on, but settled down real nicely and played tough minutes against the Tavares unit. Greene was his usual solid self and did something we havent seen on the PP: A SHOT
PK- cooled down the "hot" Islanders PP and even sparked some offense. Great effort from everyone who participated
Gionta's embellishment- Gionta milking that call late in the third was huge
Mark Fayne- it shows we sorely missed this guy. Made several nice plays despite playing with Sal
Negatives
Penalties- lots of lazy hooks, but a few of them were because our defense's speed got exploited
Salvador- Im not sure how we're gonna make it through the next two and half years with this guy. He's slow, often out of position and an offensive black hole. I dont care if he has the leadership skills of George Washington
The lines- Deboer needs to shake up the top 6 because its clear that they cant create any offense.
Refs- I would put them higher, but Gio did sell that call. That interference call against Larsson was horse**** though. Tavares is quickly becoming one of my least favorite players. Between the diving and yapping, it's getting old
Not a perfect performance by any means, but it's nice to snap that losing streak and head into the Rags game with a bit of momentum
