I really like how our defense has looked so far, just think we have let in 5 goals in total, 2 have been SH goals (one being a penalty shot) and another goal came about of a lucky bounce. I really like way Sustr and Gudas have handled themselves, Sustr has really impressed. I think Brewer looks better and Matt Carle looks a lot improved over last year. These are only early days but these are positive signs. I know we just gave up 30 somert shots to Chicago but for the most part I thought the bolts held them at bay regarding 'quality' scoring chances and I thought they did a nice job of eliminating 2nd chances, we didn't do that all last year.
Bishop made some great stops. I tuned in when it was 2-0 and I thought they still had a chance if they turned on the after burners like they did last year. The third period is going to be big for us again this year. About Lindback, he stops almost all the long shots, its the close in and shoutouts that he has problems with. A little improvement and he will be almost as good as Bishop.
one thing really good about Filppula is that he is a good playmaker that the bolts have not had in a long time. As good as Stamkos and St.Louis are they are snipers pretty much.We allowed almost 40 shots on goal this game! I don't like how our defense looks. Thank God Bishop was solid! 40 shots on goal will wear out any netminder including greats like Roy, Hasek, etc! I'll take the win even though they really didn't deserve it. And yes Fillp is an excellent addition. Being a Wing fan also, I knew this from the start. Can't believe the Wings let him go!
