Much better. Sadly I missed the 2 first periods, but felt like we had some better puck control that period, even though Dallas still looks pretty good. [Reply]

Yeah, they've been so discombobulated on offense this series outside of the couple periods in game 1, but seemed to have/make a little more time and space tonight while not trying to do too much.
A couple games ago, MacKinnon was just skating into double teams and turning over the puck... and it's such a tough balance because you want him to take over a game, but felt like he was forcing it too much. Tonight was far more controlled, and then Makar was skating really well and finding his moments to get into the slot.
But yeah, Dallas' offense is still scary and you still feel like Georgiev will have to steal one of the next two. [Reply]
Georgiev still makes me nervous as hell the way he hangs out too long behind the net sometimes. Like come on, man, get back in position. That and getting stood up tall too often during traffic. But give him credit for hanging in there and making some great blocks over the last couple games. [Reply]

But yeah, they're good.
So, about the Rangers....
(even though they just about had another one, holy crap) [Reply]
