I'm not entirely sure why I even bother coming on after a loss. As I've said before, I'm glad this team had handled any adversity better than this board usually does.
Yea, I'm pissed at the lack of effort in the 3rd and how that game ended...compounded by the absolutely piss poor reffing. But I think a lot just forget how good Tampa is, it's pretty historic, you can't let your foot off the gas for a second or they can make you pay. We let them take the game to us, we backed off because we got scared, and it cost us. I obviously was hoping for a win, but pretty well also expected a loss. We fought hard for 2 periods and let off. As long as we come back hungry in the next game, you just gotta move on past a game like that...don't let it spiral.
It's funny too how Mrazek started off the season shakey and inconsistent, McBackup came in and stole the show. Since about February, Mrazek has been confident and dialed in, CMac has looked like an old goalie wearing down...not as consistent or quick. Re-sign Mr Azek, find another potential backup, and let Ned get some spot starts to see if he's ready for more in the future.
