Obviously, we go from being on a breakaway with a chance to make it 6-1, don't score, and follow it up with a too-many-men on the ice penalty right after. That starts to snowball. Inside of that, we had some pretty terrible penalty killing.
I am not going to focus on that kind of stuff. I am going to focus on the fact that we played another good hockey game today.
We were bad in moments with the penalties. You can't take a too-many-men penalty. You can't give up a shorthanded goal on a clear shot from the blue line. You can't have your fourth line in the third period. You can't chase the puck on the penalty kill. All of those kinds of things we can't do in those moments. Maybe those are a sign of the fatigue factor coming into today. I don't know. Last night, we didn't do any of those types of things. I am going to watch those kinds of things.
For me, this last little stretch we have been on Florida at home, Boston on the road, Tampa last night, and Florida here I was looking to come out of this segment with a sense of where we are at as a team and whether we can compete with the very best in our division. I think that answer is unequivocally yes. That is all I am going to take out of this.
