Our Defense really has been the difference.
We're not just leading the league in shots for at 38.2 per game, we're close to leading in shots against at 22.8!
On;ly Chicago is better at 21.8.
We've allowed the FEWEST Shots, total, at 91!
Thta's how you win games. Keep the other team out of the zone, tie up the shooting lanes and clear the puck away form the net.
It doesn't hurt, too, that Miller is driven to be the premier goalie!
BTW, we're also 3 points out of 1st over all, with two games in hand over the leaders, NY Rangers and Pittsburgh
Sure, it's only 4 games, but it's a good way to start a trend
MYERS is a big part of that defense now....i feel like he lifts the whole team up....he so good in his own end...very calm, almost nonchlantley (sp) getting pucks out of his own end....Love that long reach !!! not to mention what he can do offensively...
this kid is here now for the long haul....he is the real deal...only a matter of time before he gets an "A" on his sweater, and eventualy the "C".....and maybe just maybe the Norris Trophy....this kid has got me excited
