They essentially made 2 mistakes that cost them. It happens. LA is a good team. They're going to bury you on mistakes like that more often than not. It's better than sitting back and waiting for the inevitable.
I don't disagree with you, but I don't think moral victories are worth more than actual victories.
Yeah, but what's being called a 'moral victory' is 60 minutes of good play, which they hadn't mustered (except in one Pittsburgh game) all season. If it's a sign of things to come, it makes actual victories more probable outcomes in future games than, say, letting your goalie get shelled and converting on a few rushes.
Better play doesn't necessarily mean more victories. We've been hearing all kinds of moral victories for years. I think it'll be hilarious if going forward our fundamentals are better but our offence is just as brutal. Let's see how far scoring one or two (or no) goals a game takes us.
