I know last week at 149 was not impressive to say the least - but as the conditioning improves and possibly not cutting so much those could have been factors.

At 157 against a #16, that is a different caliber of competition. I've seen many Sully matches similar to Saturday's (vs Monday) where that first good shot happens in OT or late in the 3rd.

Frankly the biggest thing for the team was keeping it at a decision since BC was hurt. It's quite an unusual task for a returning 2xAA.
