They played pretty well from 2-0 down to 2-1 then the wheels fell off with some really just dumb play.

Good for them to get a bit of a breather in this week, hopefully some good practices, get Kakko back Friday, and get a win before another long road trip.

The problem starts with breakouts. We have Fox and that's it on defense. Everyone else sucks. We need Jones badly right now. Something else to give us a different look.
Suck on breakouts or suck at defense? Because despite today I still think Miller and Trouba are playing pretty well. That third pair has reeked tho

Gonna chuck this one up to being exhausted from the Rd trip , plus they blew a lot of energy in that comeback against the Sens ..........Thought Igor was still good and kept us in it , we got to 2-1 to turn around and give one right back was disappointing ,should have been flying after that and they get pinned in their own zone .Couple of days to rest, refit and regroup see you Friday .

One Trouba's selling points was supposed to be his outlet pass in Winnipeg. Sadly we have yet to see it here.

Not gonna be a doomer here like I assume others will but its a matter of fact that Panarin and Mika need to start playing better. They are paid what they are for a reason, the offense needs to go through them

This is spot on. We obviously aren't perfect defensively, but we should be potting 3 or 4 goals a game pretty regularly, which make a game like this with shaky defense a lot more competitive and winnable. They are the sole reason we haven't looked good offensively nor on the PP. Zibanejad was the sole reason we probably weren't a playoff team last season with how much he dragged the team down the first 30 games or whatever it was, so we are used to it from him now. But Panarin? It's tough to take seeing him play like this. Real tough.
