So, they got by the one game I figured they might drop last night. 3 games in four nights, with the 3rd game against the 9-1-1 Kings with a red-hot Quick in goal. But noooo, Armstrong has done such a superb job of assembling a great roster, they take care of business. They play like men possessed. Intensity on every stride of every shift of every period of every game. Steen has played out of his mind. The 3rd and 4th lines are buzzing. Allen is playing very well and the D is coming together much faster than anyone anticipated. From what I have seen, a lot of the D's success is somewhat related to the intensity and great two-way play of the wingers and centers. The back-checking has been outstanding and the transition game, while still not 100% is much better than last year. Guys like Parayko and Dunn are great puck handlers for their age and experience level.

If you have been watching this team and can't see the chemistry, the intensity and skill level all coming together, well, you're hockey IQ is pretty low. Like Yeo says, it is just a good start and they have plenty to work on. But dayum, you have to be impressed with the boys to this point.

Go Blues (or Predators for some)!!!
