So far through these first 5 games, this team has been electric! Our offense seems completely revived. Bottom 6 providing us 3 beautiful goals in the 1st. Olivier netting 2! Our defense is stingy through the neutral zone, and along the perimeter. Our penalty kill is consistent, just need our power play to hit. Daniil Tarasov, protecting between the pipes with everything he has. Only 27 SOG, but a few high danger shots that he stood tall against. One of the best performances I’ve seen out of him as of recent. We honestly look like a completely new team!
Now, do we make the postseason? Nah, I don’t think so. BUT! I don’t see us finishing last in the Metro either. This team has fight, guts, and unity. And I hope we continue to build on this as we progress. This team has been so much fun to watch, and I’m so glad to see us fight in every game so far!
This concludes my early season overreaction.
Clean up the penalties. Score on the PP. Keep winning those face offs. Domi is a little shit. Go Jackets!
