Good old Duber dropping to his knees regardless of where the puck is going.

I thought it was a good game.

Being down our only 2 defensive centremen really hurt us in the 3rd and in overtime.

IF you let the other team get 40 ****ing shots, you are going to lose. Jeez, and we struggle to break 20...pathetic.

we are lucky to get a point.

2nd game in a row where the entire team ran out of gas in the 3rd. I know Krueger was trying to give the players more rest than most coaches would, but something's not working right here. That or the guys having played a bunch in the AHL is actually working against them.

Also, the Oilers were constantly being outsmarted all over the ice. Theme of the game, really.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Hall can't score to end it, Eberle flies the zone early and they get outnumbered and gg. Your big 2 guys aren't getting it done and that's what happens.

Too bad Hall was the only forward that showed up in the 3rd and OT. Other than Lander.

Just wonder about the compete level on this team sometimes.

The shot was inches away from smoking Yak in the face. Love the kids passion and heart, but don't want him blocking shots like that.
