Good for him.

He said what happened was unacceptable. It definitely came off better than Henrik’s position. What was that?

The team looked good.

How did the captain put it?

“I thought the whole game it felt like (we had them on the ropes).

“I thought five-on-five we created enough chances.

“We had a really good chance off the face-off starting the third. If we score there, they’re going to start squeezing their sticks.”

I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I went back and watched the power play to start the third.

I couldn’t find a chance which nearly flipped the game on its ear. I may have missed it. What I didn’t miss was Boeser in the slot of a 1-3-1 setup and Boeser not touching the puck.

I’ll get to that later.

Back to MDZ:

“We gave up the middle of the ice. We allowed seam passes. It was everything we talked about before.

“Any time you have to kill off five minutes, it’s tough. We lost a big PK guy in Guddy. That’s a tough break.
