With the tough games coming up on the schedule (@ MTL, Anaheim, @ Pitt, @ Minn), this is the right time for this game…
A team of young future stars (Kopitar, Brown, Frolov, Johnson among them), this is the type of game that the Isles need to feast on an opponent that has lost more games than any other NHL team.
They can score though… Dustin Brown has 24, and Kopitar is keeping pace. However, the defense is not that strong, even with long-time all-star Rob Blake among the corps. The goaltending is a little suspect with former Ranger Jason LaBarbera and JS Aubin between the pipes.
This is a team that you need to POUNCE on. We can not have the same effort that we saw 48 hours prior. The hangover is over. It is time to get the excitement pills back, and get on these guys right away.
Hopefully two points get added to the total.
