I know one thing that will make this all better.
Kicking Boston's ass on Saturday!

It’s been a tough stretch in terms of scheduling that is almost certainly playing a part in this run of play. It’s not an excuse but a five game road trip with two quick games at home then right back on the road for two 10am PST back to backs (at altitude too) is insane.
Powerplay is costing games but they’re about to be back home for a week so they need to hunker down and work the kinks out. The month of March is basically spent entirely at home so that will be good for this team down the stretch.
Bruins/Jets/Avs/Stars are also going through a similar stretch right now. That’s hockey. This team is being battle-tested and it’s a good thing it’s happening in mid-February.
If the PP had any sort of self respect, these games definitely go different. Can question the turnovers or compete level but the PP is simply losing games.Yeah I think it’s evident the team is exhausted, but the ways they’ve lost are extremely frustrating.

I think we definitely need another D to eat minutes and bump guys down to proper rolesProbably time to sit Juulsen for a game or two to reset.
Honestly what the hell do we do with the monstrosity that is Mikheyev right now? He had one shift in like the entire third period. Running into the playoffs with Loui Eriksson 2.0 at 4.75M is insane when we desperately need grit, sandpaper, and scoring depth. At this point I wish we kept Kuzmenko instead just so our PP has a formation
