For about 10 minutes there... was it longer?... I thought they were actually making a lot of good controlled zone entries, carrying the puck in more than I can recall seeing for awhile. But it still went nowhere. And then they just gave up more chances back the other way.
The bottom line is there was never any quick fix coming. Maybe like some of us fans, the team kept thinking it would all magically work out too. But in reality, the team is just too broken/not good enough/whatever. They need a reset and it's going to take some serious work.
