L K said:In total no, but I think that both Carter and Marleau have gone hard to the net and fought for those pucks in close has certainly helped. That seemed to be complementing well and the Austrians really didn't have the defensive ability to win those battles in front of the net. It wasn't a Kessel-JVR type pairing where they anticipate plays from each other but they were certainly both being very aggressive at htting the front of the net.
Yeah, although I think one of the things we've seen a lot of from this team is a willingness to get to the front of the net. You're absolutely right that both guys were effective in that regard tonight but I suppose I'm still waiting to see some guys develop the sort of chemistry that will really suit them when playing against the more threatening opponents.
