You hit on all the right notes with this game summary, Charlie! I especially like the mention of the face-off dominance that was a welcome sight. Risto’s return was surprising in that he seemed to be in mid-season form. If he continues to play like this the defense is pretty stacked. I like that all the top lines scored which shows how good the team can be with the right mix. Nothing like hearing a quiet arena in Montreal as you know they wanted that one.

Thank you 5lb 6oz little baby Jesus for bringing us Vladar.

I did not realize that cates faceoff percentage was that bad, but with that being to main negative I noticed, it’s a pretty good night of hockey

What is Tocchet’s problem with Michkov getting minutes. They haven’t head a talent with offensive skill since never and Tocchet appears to want him to adapt to the Flyer way…mucking and grinding.
