Ahmen to that. The boys signing autographs after the game looked elated. Great to see them play with such confidence. This has been a huge week and I am proud of our gang!

How many times in his haste to score a goal has Vince Dunn abandoned his post on the blue-line. Now you have defenders playing defensively. When we get behind a goal or two we start chasing our own tails and the game gets away from us. When we play responsibly in our own end we can dictate our own pace. No, it isn't all his fault, he is not a pariah - the team just plays better with defensive defenders

The team for most of the game looked good nice to see Blake skating like Blake again . Looks like Knott and Jenys getting hot for the post season . Also nice we took advantage of the schedule hope for another good effort in Hamilton on Sunday. Also love Haydon reaction on his goal.

if you or anyone have a problem with Dunn being an offensive defender you should talk to the people who ask him to do so (coaching staff) he wouldnt have to do so if this team was putting goals in like they did tonight and the coaches expected them to all year

That's the big mystery - are the coaching staff asking Dunn to be the fourth forward during regular play or is that his own initiative. Watching Marty's face and reading his lips, I don't suspect it was his idea. Dunn is a great defenceman, I'd love it if he played that position and got the odd snipe or assist but made stopping offence his priority. If you have direct insight into what Dunn is being coached to do, please share!

According to many people on twitter tonight (Rod Mawhood, Matt and DJ, etc) the win (game) was dedicated to Dalton Jacques.
