3. Casey really coming up clutch in the shootout when it hasn’t been a strength in the past, the poke check on McDavid was beautifully done
2. Robertson’s shootout move is so glorious. I’m not sure why he went away from it in Florida but the one today is textbook, lulling the goalie to sleep and shooting over the glove hand knowing they can’t stop it.
1. Miro defending McDavid in OT. Good coaching from Gully in the 3 on 3, we hadn’t been good in previous iterations but really liked what I saw. That matchup between Miro and McDavid was hockey at it’s best
Catching up on your writing after a couple of incredibly busy work weeks. I was at this game and for the most part it was a real fun one. Good effort and response when they were down, Casey was good when he really needed to be good, a shootout win is always a sight to see, and MIRO (enough said)!
This was a good win. Probably Miro’s best game of the season. He is so good.
Three highlights for me

Brilliant use of North Country — one of the finest tunes and love this crazy performance by Bob and Johnny.
I know it’s not close to the “best” version of this song, but you said it right: it’s a crazy performance, and I love it for that.

It’s nice to know folks still read this stuff even days after the fact!
