Yes. Absolutely.This is the moment we realize that losing Ellis has put us farther back than expected.. 1st pairing cannot have 1 offensive dman and a dman who cant hold a shooter to a perimeter
Think he rung his bell a bit.Smith looked like a soccer star on that play lol

I would accept losses if they come from the other team being clearly better..Not a great start, but I think I'll wait at least one more game before bagging the season and giving away my tickets.
After the poor first period, they are lucky to only be down 2 goals.
those cross ice passes from kariya, sully, zidlicky were a thing of beauty though.We saw a very similar phenomenon after the 04-05 lockout. Players were called for all kinds of stick work that had previously been let go. Every team got tons of PP early... of course we had Kariya and Sully back them so we regularly took advantage... I'm old enough to remember when this team lived and died by the power play..
