We need to stop taking 20 minutes off every game.

This team is way too inconsistent to really compete. Something needs to change. And it needs to go beyond Williams coming back because it needs to be something that fixes these issues for not just this year but the future. This team sleepwalks way too much.

And even with that said, we need a more consistent goaltender.

Hockey doesn't work like that. They're not going to dominate the other side 60 minutes a night. This group doesn't cheat you in terms of effort.

They got their asses handed to them in the second. They were a bad team in that period and it cost them the game. And they have stretches of really bad play more often than you'd think.

Andrei Svechnikov (2 assists) has his 13th multi-point game of the season.
He reaches the 40-point mark for the first time in his career.
The 19-year-old has 40 points in 41 games.

It's times like these I have to remind myself that we'er stupid young, and that's what you're going to get with a stupid young team.Realistically, we made the finals a couple years ahead of schedule last season and everyone started thinking we'd arrived. But in reality, we're stupid young still.

Dougie killed us with that penalty. I think we tie it up if he doesn't do that bull****.

Aho was mostly terrible.

Gardiner remains painful to watch.

Couple more bodies for you: Haula's penalty really killed us, before Hamilton's did. We had all the momentum in the world early in the third and plenty of time to get one. But after that, we needed three.

And Nino. My God. Any question who sits when Williams is ready were answered for me tonight. He's just horrible right now.

I mean honestly if we had a goalie capable of stealing games, that solves a lot of the problems we have. Mrazek would be a great backup, but I'm not convinced he's starter material for us going forward.

Sure, but I say this in the team building thread and I'm an idiot for wanting Lehner.

These are 2 of the very best teams in the NHL.
Ilya Samsonov had a very good game.
That was Play-Off Hockey!!
