A better balanced game in this one. After Buds took a 2-0 lead, they began playing a  more mature game; with better coverage and controlled skating.  Buds were not  flying all over the place,  burning highly valuable  energy or making reckless plays in this one.  A good win, and a much better effort, all around.  Now if they can only exercise  their forecheck and backcheck more  consistently, they'll be on the right road to compete more consistently for the rest of the season. -- practice makes perfect!
