Okay, I’ll admit it — I’m not a huge fan of Alexei Emelin. And despite my unwillingness to admit it, I was pretty darn impressed by 74’s performance in the first 20 minutes alone. First he came in with the — dare I say — sexy back pass to Nathan Beaulieu who set up Paul Byron for the first goal, and he was also instrumental on the Plekanec marker.
Paul Byron scores his 21st (!!) of the year. But take a look at that smart pass by Emelin to Beaulieu. Great play. pic.
