Pens were solid for the first 20 minutes, then decided that was enough and decided the 2nd and 3rd periods were optional.
They just didn't seem very crisp tonight. Everything was just a tiny bit off, whether it be the passing, the stickhandling, the shooting. Everything just seemed like they just didn't have it tonight.
The defense, in particular, was terrible. None of them seemed capable of making an outlet pass. None of them seemed capable of making any sort of plays with any sort of pressure. The forwards weren't great, but the defense really hampered them tonight in all areas of the rink.
Oh, and even though it was more of a team-wide thing, f*** Justin Schultz. I'm just tired of him at this point. Terrible coverage on the Hyman goal, and his offensive game is simply non existent at this point. He's been really, really disappointing since basically his 2017 season.
