Yeah, first road games generally get a little sloppy and I wasn't that mad with it over all. Still, Uncle Antti was pretty sharp, the boys managed to take away huge chunks of the territorial and pressure advantages and really limited the Sharks quality looks. It may not have been pretty, but Carolina racked up 80% on the expected goals chart on the road. That's gonna get you a W pretty much every time, provided your finishers aren't completely asleep at the switch.
Now ... work on that power play and on being a bit sharper in close. And frankly, that stuff generally takes a bit of time having churned this much of the roster.
