What game were you watching?

The one that ended where we couldn't hold a lead against the Dallas stars. He underachieved tonight. Missed assignments all over the place from the entire defense and there were a few from him. Him and Stralman were embarrassingly bad on the 3rd goal.

The entire back end and the mentality of the forwards needing to backcheck needs to be emphasized by Cooper. This is beer league quality defending.

Getting hemmed in and walked around after a lackluster game from the night before shouldn't be this easy. The last 25 minutes of the game should not happen again.

He was fine on the third goal. Stralman did not take away the lane.

You're wrong - Hedman was a monster. Over 30 minutes of ice time. Plus 1. Broke up so many plays I got tired of hearing his name.

Team is reminding me of 2016 where they played like shit through most of the season, using the same dull strategy with a shitty PP.

When playoffs came, the entire team changed drastically but more importantly, so did the coaching. Things changed back to what we had saw previously in the 2015 run.

Personally, I feel like the entire team (especially on the coaching side) is taking it easy as to not give opponents much game tape to review come playoff time.

Did Conacher touch put after he went down on that winning goal? If so, that was a honey badger goal if I've ever seen one :laugh:

Also, new strategy when you're down by a goal in the last minute. Just push the goalie into the net because that's fine now. Domingue has been f***ed over by the refs two games in a row now.

Conacher scoring the winnin goal (and a flashy one at that) on no other than Bishop, too good!

Paq needs to be replaced by Peca asap.

Went to sleep after 2nd period. Was not suprised to see the game going to overtime... I thought Cirelli was very good. He has very good work ethic and seems like a good skater. Hybrid between Gourde and Point.

There were ugly parts to the game and it wasn't pretty but overall I thought it was a pretty gutsy effort by the team to pull out the win.

Back to back travel game and no Vasi, Kuch or Palat.

Not pretty but not bad.

I just can't wait until we get everyone back. Going to be fun to see this team with McDonagh on it.

Can someone find a quote of Conacher being asked about the goal? I heard him say it was unintentional in an interview on the radio, but I can't find the quote anywhere
