What other team in the league had 6 top players at the All-Star event, then with no break, go on to a 5 games in 8 nights road trip, get one day for travel back to the west coast, then play 2 more intense games at home?Can't win them all. Feel like the team could sure use a nice long homestand to work on cleaning up some things though.
I'm not excusing the play of our top guys, I'm just providing some context. We've played the most games in the league (56), along with Philly & Tampa. They're tired, mentally and physically. And now they have 1 day to travel for another b2b, playing an afternoon game in Minny on Monday, and the Avs on Tuesday.
Actually, I am excusing their play tonight. For 90% of this season, they've been pretty damn good. The Jets are a very good team, too. They were fortunate to play us at our most vulnerable time of the season, and they had to work bloody hard for the win.
