We've had chances in the offensive zone and failed to capitalize ... then gave up rush after rush where the Blues did take advantage.

All the Preds need is a 7 goal period to win. They just gave one of those up ... why not have one for themselves?

If we were up 8-2, we probably let the foot of the gas and win 9-7 or something. Expecting 15-3 here.

If Rittich has a cold or the flu, wouldn't Saros have come back to play the third period?

Kudos to the Perds fans still at the barn.
The only good thing about today was seeing Crispy and getting the t-shirt which says, "Bring the Passion." on the front.
We brought something but it wasn't passion. Sorry Terry.

The difference in this game is the worst goals allowed period in franchise history. I'd almost rather see Harpur starting as a top six forward than this level of excrement.
Gonna miss Crispy, he is a legend and a fun guy.
I would have put 'Keep Your Head On A Swivel' on the tee shirt.

Nope, watched that (Use your favorite Monday Morning word here) from the confluence of the Cumberland and Ohio Rivers.

If we make the playoffs, getting swept or going down 1-4 is about the most I'd expect at this point. This team just seems to be out of gas. Between all the youth, style of play, and recent shortened seasons, I suppose that shouldn't be totally surprising.
At times, the young guys have been the ones scoring goals and getting the assists.
Trenin has 17 G and 7 A in 74 games. Jeannot has 24 G and 17 A in 75 games. Tomasino 11 G and 18 A in 70 games. Tolvy 10 G and 12 A in 72 games. Kunin with 13 G and 9 A in 76 games. That is 75 goals from the five named people, only Trenin is 25 years old. That is almost 31% of the team goals scored so far this season.
The Herd Line has also played some good defense at times.
Your playoff assessment is probably correct.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the progress of most of our youth. Hopefully they continue to become better players for us. (I think we have some more talent in the pipeline even.)
The biggest disappointment was Myers by far. I've gone from pessimistic to optimistic and back again on Benning. I don't think he'll be coming back at this point.
FWIW, yes, they've been chipping in and doing their bit, but the offense has clearly been driven by the big 4 + Josi. The herd line does its thing, but there just is not the depth and consistency to fall back on at times. When the reassembled FGD line struggles badly, then we can get a shellacking like the Blues game.
