Not really a solid win. A win nonetheless. We were in control for the first 50 mins, going up 5-2, but then chose to sit back and allow the Sens to get right back in the game with 2 quick goals. RC was pissed at the end, as he stromed off after the final horn. He usually congratulates the assistant coaches. If we continue this trend of long stretches of lazy play, we will get killed in the playoffs.
We'll probably make it this year because the team is playing a good defensive system. It's not like last year were we just outscored our opponents - that kind of a strategy is never sustainable. Plus we have secondary scoring now, which adds a new dimension to how teams defend against us. Shutting down Kessel isn't enough now.
The shortened season adds to it as well, since a collapse can't put you down that much. But I don't think there will be a collapse due to the aforementioned reasons. Goaltending has been great too. Reimer is 9-3 with a .920+ SV% and sub 2.8 GAA.
Tonight we face our Kryptonite - the Bruins. We are 0-7 against them in our last 7 meetings.
