Thumbs up to Game 3, Anaheim Ducks at Winnipeg Jets, from beginning to end. Sure, the rabid fans in Winnipeg's "Whiteout Army" would prefer to exclude the very end - Rickard Rakell's winning goal at 5:12 of overtime - but the Ducks did themselves proud as they spoiled Winnipeg's glorious outpouring of hockey joy and civic pride. Another team might have run for cover, realizing that one loss - or even two - to the fired-up Jets and their supporters would still leave it with home-ice advantage. But Anaheim took Winnipeg's best shots, in the form of four goals and countless hits (including one to the back of Corey Perry's head), and they answered with their own each time. Coach Bruce Boudreau explained perfectly when he said his players have "that innate sense of how to win."

And, although the record will show that the Jets have lost the first three games of a playoff series after taking a lead to the third period each time, the Ducks have won the games more than the Jets have lost them. Because, as Boudreau says, they know how.

In recognition of the first shutout of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, thumbs up to Devan Dubnyk of the Minnesota Wild. He had plenty of help, with his teammates holding the St. Louis Blues to 17 shots, but Dubnyk spoke to goalies everywhere when he said the task is always the same - be ready to stop the next shot - no matter when or how it might come, never mind that there haven't been many of them. Dubnyk's success story in Minnesota is one of this season's best, and it is hard not to think ahead to the possibility of a second-round matchup between the Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks - a series that would feature Dubnyk at one end of the ice and, if things continue to go his way, the inspiration to unknown minor-leaguers in little-known minor leagues, Scott Darling, at the other.

We can do that, but they can't. They're thinking only about the next shot.
