Last night was more of an idea of what the rest of the season will bring us. Plenty of energy, plenty of shots, missed opportunities. Goaltending that is good enough to keep us in it, but not quite good enough to win a game on its own. Jimmy Howard doesn't steal games. Bernier won't either.
They are good goalies who will win behind good teams and play well behind bad ones, only to take the L.
This team is not going to the playoffs. But they are going to be fascinating to watch. These guys are going to grow up in front of us and the tone of our posts and comments will reflect that.
