We started vert slowly and it looked like Sundays drama had taken a lot out of them but we looked fresher the longer the game went on weirdly. Solid win and back to back wins which makes a change! One thing I have noticed is that we look a lot more aggressive with everything we do since Whistle came in,we hit more and don't back down from other players like we did under TW. No slight on Wallace but we are a much better team now. Getting the puck off the opposition, playing much harder in the opposition's face, keeping players back when the defenders go forwards, the forward's confidence is high. They have always been very hard working but now they are working smart too.

Gritty game and I felt at times might have gone either way when we started taking silly penalties although pering didnāt help himself with some of his decisions. Great game for young Jack and for him to pick up his first professional point was a joy for him.
Can we keep it up, hope so, will be tough but they can do it if they play tight. Although that still wonāt quieten the ātrollsā.

The 2nd assist heās been given from the game in Cardiff isnāt warranted, he didnāt touch the puck on Mathesonās goal. The points recording is an absolute shambles this season for us. Hedberg has played 12 games and has provided 1 assist.

Agreed, there have been some howlers in terms of stats. They tend to get put right on review, though.

For balance, other statistically disappointing players are available, Devils' Brandt is yet to score a point in 11 games played, for example. Quinn O'Brien has 1 point in 18 for 2 teams.

They tend to get put right on review, though. Looking at that goal, Norrish shot the puck, I believe it defected off Ollie to the corner, Lane picked it up and gave it to Matheson, who then scored. Hedberg certainly not involved though. I recall our game on NYE, where Baillargeon was awarded a goal that he shouldnāt have been, the league eventually corrected that game sheet, but theyāve failed to alter the individual players stats. Itās poor.

Yes, it really hasn't clicked for him at all yet. We need a lot more from him, he was involved in a few goal mouth scrambles yesterday in the 2nd period, neither him or his line mates could force the puck over the line. He skates and carries the puck well, hopefully he can find his scoring touch.

Would we have been awarded the 4th goal anyway if Ollie was unable to score because the Refs called a penalty on The Storm during a breakaway and there was an empty net.
Pretty sure there's a rule?

Yes - from the 2021/22 IIHF rule book: 25.1. AWARDED GOAL A goal will be awarded to the attacking Team when the opposing Team has taken their Goalkeeper off the ice and an attacking Player has āpossession and control of the puckā (or āwould have gained possession and controlā) in the Neutral or Attacking Zone, without a defending Player between themself and the opposing goal, and they are āprevented from scoringā as a result of an infraction committed by the defending Team ā when Goalkeeper is Off the Ice.

I've not seen that many NHL games, but the few I've seen have included some interesting things. A 0-0 draw after OT (in a game featuring both Scott Nichol and Paul Bissonette) Derek Boogaard's last career goal (and a beauty it was) An Ilya Kovalchuk one-timer OT winner, and an awarded goal. 20 Oct 2007, LAK @ VAN. Dustin Brown skates up ice, in full control, with Luongo pulled, and is tripped and doesn't get a shot off. Referee awards the goal. Not sure how many there have been, it seems probably on or two a season? scoutingtherefs.com/2018/02/20816/wild-awarded-goal-afetr-knights-take-penalty-with-goalie-pulled/
