Game 65 Afterwords: Eight Thoughts for the Eighth Road Win of the Year

Related Topics: Aleš Hemský

Quick hits today, but that was kind of a nice ending to what seemed like assured disaster, right?

1. Ales Hemsky led the team in 5v5 shot differential (Corsi Relative), as if that should be surprise to any of you. He played...not the most minutes on the team, but Ruff did put him out there with an empty net alongside Eakin and Benn. What is that line, you may ask? I have no idea either. Perhaps that is Ruff telling Spezza and Seguin that they don’t deserve to play the Empty Net Bonus Round, or perhaps that was just what “felt right” for the coach.
