Yeah you could say we deserve to be down for not capitalizing but 3-0 is absurd and I love the premature postmortems on the season already coming out, lmao.
I think it's the degree to which this team is starting to look and play like last year's team that has concerned.

This game is making me sick.

Seriously, just checked my body temperature, 38,7 °C, 101,6 °C.

In other words, I'm torturing myself both mentally and physically by watching this game.

Might be too deep a hole. I bet Budaj lets in another softy to kill all momentum. I just don't see us coming back.

That's entirely possible but we're close. We've had some really unfortunate luck these last few games despite how well we've played. Our scoring results are painfully disproportionate to our scoring chances.

Is there any reason why PK and Andy would not question the calls whatsoever? Should be a pretty obvious topic for intermission talks and analysis. Are they not allowed to (anymore)?
It hurt me when Andy said "Tampa got into penalty trouble and it cost them" :cry:

The other thing though is we should NOT have allowed that shorty. Tampa has to bury that puck and take advantage of that PP. Awful game so far

It probably is. But let's just see them give an honest effort the rest of the way through and hope for the best. If the wheels fall off, I think we can be pissed off at the team for this game. But as of now? We made a rookie mistake and had a couple of unfortunate calls go against us, and the Pens made us pay through the nose. They're the champs.

I posted after the Caps game I was concerned. But we were outshooting the Pens like 15-3 before the refs shit all over us.

I'm not dooming the season, I just expect better. A clunker every now and then is fine but it's been a few games in a row now. We have turned into a dumpster fire again defensively. We gave up like 12 odd man rushes last night and several again so far tonight. We aren't getting the bounces, but I don't believe that you're a good team if you stop winning games because of "luck". We're seeing some regression in a few categories and it's showing very plainly in the standings.

We're still first in the league so it's not showing in the standings yet. Not that we aren't regressing.
