Back for more, eh?
There’s no shortage of them from this week, but it’s certainly a case of starting with a dud and ending with a bang – comparing the performance of the team against Pittsburgh to their efforts last night against Phoenix is like watching two totally different squads.

This game was the textbook definition of being pushed around the ice. Also, I hate to sound catty, but look at how many times you see “Malkin” on the sheet. Look at how many times you see “Nash”. Both guys supposedly play a very similar style, but one was effective, and one was relatively silent despite his SHG.

The best way to look at this game, particularly after all the deadline drama, is that it was an improvement. Columbus was still out-chanced, but a much lower margin, and the team clearly came to play = they just got let down in the final period.

Make no mistake, Steve Mason was a very good player in this game, but I suspect he would gladly admit that part of the victory came from the team pushing Colorado to the perimeter, especially late, and not letting them get any traction.

It’s interesting to watch Jack Johnson over his first four games. You can see his offensive production increasing and his comfort with the defensive system increasing almost day by day. With 17 more games, it should be a treat to watch him settle in.
