Welp . . . your prediction was half-off. Double it, and flip the winning team !!

Nice to see young players like Johnson & Chinakhov getting more minutes - and producing. Now I hope Larsen to realize more TOI is what these guys need to develop, that and continues to give them more time.
Having them play fourth line minutes 9-11 TOI, does crap to their development. These guys need to play !! Give them 14-15 minutes until they crater, or hit a wall.

It'll be tougher against Detroit tomorrow.

Only saw the 3rd period, i hope the rest was as exciting.

It is great to see the CBJ play better and Boone Jenner really playing well. He is not a #1C, but he is playing great as any good captain should.

I hope the CBJ are starting to understand how to play this new system supposedly installed at the beginning of the season so when they get on the road or play top teams they are more competitive. But man, even 40 bad shots a night is not a good number to give up.

Maybe the biggest problem defensively has been sort of solved (for now) when Elvis left the building and Korpi entered.

Agreed, there is a silver lining to these injuries, Sillinger, Johnson and Chinakhov can emerge as core elements.
