Haven't read through but am i the only one who feels we played quite well, we just got schooled by Rittich?
PP was out of synch but I have news for some people.
We weren't going to go 56-0-0
Or even 45-9-2
The PP is not going to run at 45%
Players aren't going to go on infinite streaks
The law of averages tell us the above will be broken. Need proof? Look at all the standings and stats in the history of league.
People need to handle the fact that if we go on a bunch of win streaks, losses will follow. If you can't handle a well-played loss after a run of 11-1-2, maybe go cheer for the Utah Jazz or watch replays of the 2015-16 Warriors.
I'll give you the OT loss to the Sens and that first regulation loss to them like 8 years ago at this point. Last night, against the Habs and the 2 to the Oilers? Oh well, close fairly well-played games. Losses will happen. Guess what, more are on the way. I'm sorry, they are. Keep them more minimal than your wins and keep them close. They are unavoidable. Guess what, going 0/7 on the PP is fairly standard after going 5/7. 5/14 is still unreal.
I thought that was what you can call a good loss. If the team were .500 (and fully healthy)? Sure, it is more of a problem. Team leads the NHL (and is a bit of an infirmary after winning 11/14)? Relax.
