barbs is brutal we need smitty desperately
We need the Smitty from the last half of last year and pray that this Feb is like Feb 2012.
I agree that the lack of ownership may be weighing on them.

Were Aucoin, Rozsival, Whitney, Pyatt and Langkow that important to the team? Who'd a thunk it?

I didn't think any of the first three goals were LOL's fault, and he made some good saves until that laugher that put the game out of reach.

To be honest the loss can't really be blamed on Barbs. He's not stealing games for us like Smith did last year but he is giving us a chance to win every game.
Once again, defensive mistakes and turnovers cost us the game. Even OEL screwed up tonight, I saw him miss a play either because he was too lazy or confused, Kings picked up possession and scored 30s later.
I'm not sure how long it takes to learn Tippet's system... the thing is we don't have very many new guys to teach it to and Moss and Sullivan have seemed to pick it up well. The Pacific is looking super-competitive so we don't have much time to fix the mistakes at all.
just my 2 cents
We have talent. We are not a very talented team. Then again, having talent doesn't mean **** if you doesn't have chemstry. Good thing for us that unlike the LA WheatKings, we don't have nearly as bad of the chemstry issues over the past few seasons.
I must be watching a different game. The last 3 games we've played very well, and would have won 2 or 3 if we had even decent goaltending. The first goal was not Barbs fault, and he played very well on the 5-on-3. The second goal was bad luck. The third was a horrible rebound on a very easy shot - totally his fault. The fourth goal...my son's squirt team goalie could have saved. Just like against San Jose, Barbs is killing us. He's not a reputable backup goalie, and I've always worried he'd cost us the playoffs some year.
I like what I've seen from this team. We've either outshot every team we've played or been barely outshot (Chicago). Our save % is horrible, and if we get the goaltending that we had last year, we'll be a seriously dangerous team. LOL gave them 2 goals and had 2 stolen from us by incompetent officiating tonight or else we'd all be singing a different tune.
