as bad as the game was we still won, we are suppossed to win those games and we did. id rather save the full out boss effort for teams we need it for.
Although I agree in a sense, I really think it's important in the big picture for this group to tighten up the range in the quality of their game and stop picking and choosing when they compete. It's pretty clear to everyone here that consistency is a problem with this group, and I think that to take the next step and really go deep we need to have an internal comfort level in what a "worst case scenario" in our game is, and it has to be a few levels higher than that.
Championship teams can have bad games, even against bad teams, but only 15 shots total and only 7 shots in the last two periods isn't acceptable against a roster of that quality. No matter what, I can't perceive contending teams like the Panthers, Knights, Avalanche, etc. ever playing that poorly against a roster that bad. It's a mental edge all of those teams currently have on us.
