They played with urgency and a will to win in the 3rd, but were no shows the first two periods.
Just like last friday vs Boston.
Gionta was awful all night.
Why was he out there with 2 minutes left?
None of us should be surprised of the no-look drop pass turnover by Patty that led to the 2nd goal allowed.
He's been trying those types of high risk/low % passes his whole career and especially the last few seasons.
The problem is that now he is surrounded by low skill and low hockey sense players that don't expect such a pass.
Plus, father time has caught up with Patty so his timing is not what is once was in his younger days.
Lou was not happy with that decision, but, for crying out loud can he put Patty with 2 worse forwards in Zubdust and Gio?
