As others have said... good first period, then it just kind of dropped off after that.
The way I see it at the moment - compared to only a couple of weeks ago, this team is massively improved. HOWEVER - they are not yet at the level required. Periods 2 & 3 tonight might be the worst that we've seen from them in the last week, but to put it into perspective - those two periods were still better than most of December.
We really should have won this one in regulation tonight, but at least we still got the two points. Tomorrow is going to be much harder - Cardiff on their home ice are one of the biggest asks in the league - and whilst I'm not massively confident... who knows?

If we play like that tomorrow we'll be crushed. The second and third was just unbearable. The power plays were God awful.

As many others have said.
Good first period. Awful second and third. Lucky winner in OT. Will take the win though.
The lines do look better but we still need more to put a decent run together and get back into the title race. Need a top playmaker (Tessier/Fox/Ling) and a top sniper like Beauregard/Graham v.1.
Season is a long way from over but the next 4 league games and the actions/non-actions of the club regarding bringing in new players are pivotal,

Winning is all that matters currently, it was laboured but we got there.
One thing that is becoming a concern is the amount of cross slot breakout passes we are attempting and getting intercepted. We don’t need to do this and is putting us at unnecessary risks of conceding.
Other than that nothing too noteworthy so just satisfied to take the 2 points.

The power plays were God awful. 2/3 were god awful... one we scored on 😉 Bad bits: Gave up a 3-0 lead Dull, dump and chase for 2 periods One of the worst 3v3 OT’s I’ve ever seen, no excitement at all until the winner! Good bits: First period Derlago is a new player now Shalla has gone Mokshantsev surprises everyone whenever he’s on the puck. And most importantly...WE WON. Massive ask tomorrow though, and they’ll be wanting to make up for the point they dropped tonight

The first period was generally pretty good. The two power plays we didn't score on though were just dreadful though. Didn't seem to get many shots on goal at all. It almost seemed like we weren't even on the powerplay at all.
