Chuck K is a total idiot and if a suspension happens because of that maybe it is for the best that he gets some consequences. The only damn way GT could have come back was with something like that. With the faceoff x and our o cooking there was no shot in hell they come back without something like a major non releasable penalty. Could have actually just let that guy go right down the middle and score rather than go for a big hit, and not only does he go for a big hit, he leaves his freaking feet like he wants to get suspended for weeks in the freaking NHL!! Just completely beyond idiotic. Like actually sabotaged a clear victory and for freaking what?????

Literally everything else was close to perfect. Defense in 6v6 overall fine, offense and transition elite, McCool and Mullen playing at their best, clears nearly perfect, box subs perfect, turnovers minimal, and no dumb penalties aside from that, but all it takes is one major eph up to have a shot at ruining everything!

John O and Gait have to draw a line between playing with an edge, and going for hits where the most likely result is a massively costly penalty instead of setting the tone. Yes he is an idiot, but how can chuck k think there is any sort of green light for that kind of thing at that point in the game? McCool and man down defense bailed us out from white knuckling what could have been a total dominant cakewalk.

But overall….a great win where we outclassed a tough opponent. Lots to be happy about too.
