My thoughts on last night's game:
-Bratt didn't get a shift in OT? Maybe juggle roster decisions in OT a little bit.
-Lucic's goal was soft-ish, I mean it's a 2-on-1, those goals are gonna happen. The Shipachev (sp?) goal was a snipe though.
-These games happen. Earlier in the season, we were winning games that we rightfully should have lost - now we lost a game that we rightfully should've won. Cosmic balance.
-Our PP is miserable lately.
I think Bratt just touched the ice as McDavid blew by in overtime for the winner. Nico's long shift probably didn't help Bratt's chance of getting on the ice.
I agree with your assessments. These games do happen and if this was a game played in the first week of the season we probably win this one. That's why they play the games though, every game is it's own story, right Daneyko? "You know these stories, they are our stories."
I was encouraged to see we out-shot someone. I know the shots on goal stat isn't the be all end all stat and can be overrated based on shot quality, but after the St. Louis game where we got manhandled in that department, tonight was a step in the right direction. Have to keep it going against Florida and the goals will come. Getting 20-23 shots a night while giving up 35+ isn't going to cut it in this league most nights.
