Lindy’s best decisions seem to always come when someone else makes them.
Brodeur still saving our ass in net lol
Could end up being a franchise defining moment going forward. If Akira continues to play stellar, then he is the future of the team in net. Add another big Timo like forward that can hit and protect along with a few changes on defense (consistently clearing the zone) and this team is on its way to dominating the Metro. Oh, and figure out the damn power play.
I really liked Emily Kaplan’s interview on the bench with Ruff last night.
“How did you know Akira would be ready for this moment?”
“Uhhh, we didn’t really!”
