First of all, we need to honor Patrick Marleau. We hadn’t done enough of that leading up to this game, and perhaps we paid for it in karma. Marleau played in his 1600th NHL game, and the 731st in a ROW - quite an ironman streak, to say the least. This author probably hasn’t watched as many games as he’s laced ‘em up for. Props to you, and good for your team to get a win for you on this milestone.
Less favorable, though, for those of us in ChowdaLand.
This game started wide open, with more than one golden chance for both teams in the first two minutes that all went wide.
