First Period:
The game started just like the last against the Blue Jackets. After a turnover at the defensive blue line, Anaheim’s forwards were trapped away from the crease. Gibson made a great save, but no one was able to clear the puck away from Boone Jenner. The first goal came only a minute and twenty-three seconds into the period.
Things did not get any better. Brandon Saad scored on a one timer in the middle of the slot. Every Anaheim skater collapsed to the goal crease for some reason (possible Carlyle system?) which left Saad wide open open.
