After a night of decent back and forth chances, the eventual game-winning goal bounced off the boards, off Andersen's skate and in.
Tape-to-tape. That's how passes should be in order to maximize efficiency and minimize turnover risk.
Maybe it's just me but this season Anaheim looks allergic to tape, especially during passing attempts.
From the early goings of the game the Ducks just didn't look like they were gelling very well with so many passes catching linemates unaware, or worse, the puck was passed behind or into the feet of the intended recipient. However, despite the perpetual plague of poor passing, Anaheim looked like theywere willing to fight for the two points to start the uphill battle in the standings.
