Didn't get to see the game, but reading the GTD....holy cow. I would have thought we were Edm/Buf/Arz.
Carlson sucks, Backstrom sucks, Kuzy is now bad, Trotz is like Oates, Chimmi can't score, our defense is horrible, and the only reason we have our record is because the East sucks. Oh and Holtby has been slightly above average the last month and has lost the vezina.
We had a flat game. It happens. Dallas has had more flat games over this season then us. So has Detroit/Chicago/Florida/NYR/STL/LA on and on. By the sound of it we put in 15 minutes and lost on the road by 1. On top of that, I would take a seven game set vs Dallas for the cup tomorrow if it was offered. They are good, but we are a better team. Teams play up and down, but when the puck drops I'll put my money on the better team. Honestly the only team I would be hesitant to make us the favorites in a seven game series is Chicago.
Expectations are at their highest all time. I'm not surprised some around here expect 100% efficiency every game. Unrealistic but it's where we're at.
