So we’re three points back of Boston with three games in hand... and Babcock puts Bibeau in net for a game against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay, despite the injuries, is generally considered to be a better team than last night’s opponents so... let’s see how this goes
Both teams played last night so it should have been less of a surprise that the first period did not start out as the track meet they usually put on.
Bibeau looked a bit panicky early on, moving with short, jerky motions and seeming a bit too eager to flop down onto the puck, but he survived with the help of his team and his goalpost.
