Our defense really is to blame and this game was the perfect storm having 2 key players out
1 defense defenseman
1 offensive defenseman
The only way we are winning from here on out without these 2 is to go fully Barry Trotz hockey and clamp down – we have to help Sorokin.
Priority number 1 should be acquiring defensive depth in the offseason
Worst part is we beat ourselves. All three of the 1st period goals came off dumb turnovers. You can point to the no call icing goal if you want, but the fact that they were in the situation where that decides the game is their own fault. Completely unacceptable and not the behavior of a playoff team.
Ive seen enough bring up aitchenson
They have thrown away so many points against weaker opponents. So frustrating.
We shouldn’t be surprised. We tend to play to the level of our completion. But it’s still embarrassing.
Next up getting blown out by Dallas and Florida. Weak efforts in over 1/3 of their games this year has the coach on the hot seat.
Aargh…
Way to go defense .
Saw Isaiah George skating before the game. Why not play him?
Yeah let’s not play the backup as a starter for the remainder. That was not something needed to happen

You can’t rely on 3+ goal comebacks. Just because they happened doesn’t mean the team was good
