Glad the insane road trip is finally over. The guys looked as if on the plane mid-way through the third period last night against Phoenix, let in three stupid goals but got it in overtime..
Defense looked better yesterday and not as sluggish as they have after Finland. Skinner looked great as usual, drawing penalties and taking shots. He does try his moves a bit too often though and turns the puck over, but I guess he shakes that off pretty soon seeing as he'll probably stick all season. His strength impresses me as well, even though he looks like he's ten years old.
Cole has been skating like the demon he used to be back before his injury as well, and LaRose looks as good as he did when he had his 20+ goal season two years ago. The fourth line, and especially Drayson Bowman and Zac Dalpe are also very impressive when they're on the ice. I hope we can continue as we did in the last three games when we get home to familiar territory. Bring on the Caps!
