quick thoughts before I ride on down to slumber town - really needed this game with LA next and then Anaheim on the back to back. Bolts came out really slow. Either thought SJ would be a cake walk because of our 8 goal win last time or what, but you gotta still play the game. Bolts flew in yesterday so they shouldn't have been jet lagged. So honestly I don't know. Even with a half baked effort, the skill alone should have been enough to muster more than 1 goal. The over play of Askarov should have helped too. The Point line was ineffective, and the bottom 6 doesn't have enough guys making an impact. You keep looking for someone to step up and break the guys out the slump. Kids did that to start the 2nd, but we somehow lost energy after a few minutes of that too. Complete head scratcher tonight, and it looks even worse after the NY and Montreal games. Gotta get it fixed quick. The Wildcard spot is not a place you should feel safe sitting in, especially this time of year.
