This team is falling apart before our eyes.
Everybody was excited we beat Vegas without going into OT. Well guess what, Buffalo beat them 7-2 tonight. Yes, I said Buffalo. So maybe beating that injury filled team wasn't such an accomplishment.
Tonight we just stunk. McLaughlin and Lauko showed some energy here and there, cause they want to earn or keep jobs, but the rest? Try to find me a bright spot cause I can't. This has been building for a while but you could say all of a sudden,
Unwanted cast offs like Heinen are looking like unwanted cast offs.
Rejected veterans that teams wanted to ditch like JVR are looking like they don't belong in the NHL any more.
Old guys like Shattenkirk and Marchand are looking like old guys. Really old guys.
Inconsistent players like DeBrusk are back to their sulky inconsistent selves.
AHL call ups like Wotherspoon are looking like AHL level players again.
Goalies are looking average at best.
The coach with no answers in last year's playoffs looks like he has no answers again.
I could go on, but really, there is very little about this team right now that looks good in any way. I don't think we could have beaten San Jose or Chicago with that effort tonight.
Forget about who we play in the playoffs, we could still miss the playoffs if we keep playing like this. Hard to believe with the point bubble we have, but not beyond the realm of possibility because that just STUNK.
