Pekka was average. The 2nd goal was one he wants back. still, you have to score more. 1 goal isn't enough.
I have to disagree. He wasn't a world beater but I thought he was seeing the puck well through traffic and his reaction time was on point for most of the game. That first goal was just....whatever. I have a hard time blaming him on that one. The second was pretty weak but I think most nights when he turns in an effort that he did last night, we'll win.
We were overly sloppy, which is surprising/unfortunate because if someone were to tell me we'd play a game, against a weaker team, at almost entirely 5 on 5 for the whole game I'd take it in a heartbeat.
I'll take the blame on this one. Sorry. Shoulda just done a GDT when I got home yesterday.

I've tried to block as much of the game out of my mind as I can, but literally the only two players who positively stood out to me were Rinne (as I've stated my feelings on that above), and I thought Beck played a good game. He seems to give it all on every shift, but I know it's easier to "look like you're doing your job well" when you're essentially a grinder.That game was embarrassing to watch. It's not who we lost to, it's how we lost to them. The whole game felt like a minor league game, but at least most guys in the minors give effort. Pathetic outing. I hope the boys feel the same way and come out swinging this week or they're going to find themselves in a losing streak very fast.
Well, sure, but if we're going to set the bar THAT low, then what's the point?At least we aren't EDM, who has yet to win a game against a Western Conference team.
It's one game. A bad game, but one game. Refocus and move to the next match up.
