The boys celebrating on the bench when Copp scored the winning goal tells me this is a solid group pulling for each other.

It was a big confidence game. After their crazy travel, to come in without much prep time to be a divisional rival on the road is huge. Especially when you're chasing them in the standings. To do so by completely manhandling them in the 3rd period is enough to make any group of guys feel pretty good.

11 of last 12 pts while not playing their best is nice.

Yeah definitely, but I think they're getting back to where they were. Last night's game was as good as they've played all season long. Other than dumb penalties handing TO the momentum in the 1st I don't have any complaints.

I don't think they've given any updates. I think he's done for a while.

Thought I read something on the athletic yesterday that the injury wasn't to his hip, which is good at least

That's what Lalonde said during his post game interview, and that's where media got that story. But if you go back and look at the two plays in question both of them involved his hip so I'm not terribly optimistic.

Friedman posted something about it not being hip related about an hour before Dirk Diggler's presser. And I'm assuming he has spys working throughout scotiabank arena. So I believe it's not hip.

Yeah I caught that as well.. definitely some good unity going on. It seems like the boys have finally bought into Derek's system. We really are just lacking one defenseman that's at least as good as Walman. Besides Florida & Boston no team in the Atlantic really scares you defensively. If we keep this up & are sitting in 3rd pushing for second by the deadline you gotta go out there & get a legit top four guy if you're Stevie.

Defensively for sure but it's certainly improved mostly due to our newfound ability to Muk up the neutral zone. Goaltending wise this is about as good as it's been if not better. Offensively I think we're doing fine 5 on 5 the PP just hasn't been lethal like it was. I'd like to see Cat-Larkin-Ray with Ras hovering the blue paint and seider or Walman on the point. Tired of watching guys skate past Ghost and it's not like he's filling up the score sheet lately.

Good news. I thought it was his hip for sure when you look at the hit he took against the boards right before the backcheck.
