  1. Obviously he was the star of the show last night.  And I'm glad that he went into the corner after the Jenner hit.  

     

    I am still concerned that his temper will cause him to lose focus again, though.  If that incident had happened at 1-0 in the first rather than 4-0 in the third, I would have been worried about it.

    I was worried about that as well, but didn't it happen earlier in the game? I think it was Nick Foligno that basically tackled him and he threw a punch then. The BJs were probably told to test that anger early and he passed.

  2. You skate past the ref, he's at you're back, the stick hits you're upper body. Split second decision you snap your head back. That's a good play if you're looking to win. Not a hockey play but, it works. I say meh. A team needs to outplay bad calls. Period.

    I also think, though, that players should be fined after the fact if they have been shown to embellish.

  3. Would you agree that regular-season performance against playoff-level teams (i.e. the top half of the league) should be a better indicator of playoff performance than regular-season performance, full stop?

    Good question. I had the same thought. I might also add "against more physical teams" to that as well.
