Everyone who complains about Dahlin should look at what he did at 13:30. Skates it in, holds it WHILE HIT, moves around, passes it back, and oops, point man screws up.
You've never gone to a game with a friend or a date or another whatever person and talked while you're watching? "Hey dad, look at this setup, 12 is going to pass it back to 25" or like that? Or looked at your game companion and chatted?
It is the computer age analogue of that.
And if not, I am sad. Everyone should have that experience.
The defense is an utter mess tonight. The difference in this game is one team's ability to clear a loose puck near the goal, or at least put bodies on the offense, and the other team's complete inability to do the same.
@Norcal Thank you for the reminder. In case you or others have not seen it, here is an excellent documentary on the defection. It's a little over 20 mins, but it is worth it.

Well, as it turns out, the Bandits were on national TV tonight. I only know this because I stopped into some place (I am out of town right now) to get what has to be one of the top five cheeseburgers in the world, and they were on. And they won!
