I’d love to be able to say that a lot of our play not being on is related to the sharks being disruptive or the style of play they are bringing is causing this or their effort and hustle is driving things…. But it’s not that at all…. We are several steps faster than them. We are our own worst enemy in this one. We are making the mistakes and our play isn’t as crisp and clean as it needs to be…. Too many of the things we would whine and complain about from last season jumping out at us…. Even had Stastny take a dumb penalty early on…. Too many shudder moments of bad habits from last year in that first period…. Deja’s but all over again and not in a good way…

2 period to go to flip the script and reverse the trend and take over the game….
In fairness, we are on the 2nd game of the season with minimal pre-season games for the starters, so not being "crisp and clean" isn't too surprising to me. We were sloppy against CLB until the 3rd.

If 10 games in, we see the same stuff, then I'm right with you and will have some concern.

My one and only comment about the new person. She is trying to make the patter unique and not ask too many softball questions but they end up being softballs anyways…. The problem is that the lead in before the basic softball seems to be almost unrelated to the question eventually being asked…. So it’s distracting for the players as they have to really pay attention and not assume as where she starts going with the question ultimately is nowhere near the actual question being asked.

seems short compared to standing next to Svech…

she seems fine and is earnest and wants to do a good job. I hope she is successful and enjoys the new job. I have no ill will toward her or any of the broadcast team and hopefully folks like her and she does a good job……. Agree that her voice isn’t my favorite but it’s not the worst ever…. And nowhere near as bad as others on other teams broadcast crews…..I’ll just mute from now on or fast forward if possible.…. Much like I do with a lot of the non live play action Including when tripp goes off on a ramble with his commentary…

I mean you wish she could be more free and open with the players, what's the worst that could happen?
