GDT: Game 44: Ottawa at Columbus - Help a computer-less brother edition

[Double-Shift Lasse]

During the streak, it was incredulous that the team was barely gaining ground, if at all, in the standings. Now, despite the standings remaining pretty much static, there's grave concern that the team is going to dramatically fall in the standings.

I just watched the first part of the game I missed last night. I don't see that much to worry about - the structure was good, the zone time was lopsided. It looked to me like execution was the only thing missing - some of the offensive zone passing has dropped off, a lot of pucks in the skates. I don't think Ottawa was that good at keeping the danger areas clear. They had a good number of blocks, but the Jackets just had a lot of near misses.

Same thing with my golf game...theory is good but...not sure all the rest matters when execution is missing.

Reporter: "Well Coach, your team lost 31-3. What do you think went wrong?"
McKay: "Well, we didn't block. But we made up for it by not tackling."

Also, I hate that he did it against our team, but Karlsson's pass to Turris was incredible. Not many people on the planet can zip that pass to that window. Now, our defense could've played Turris better, I think it was Prout that got burnt, which wouldn't have resulted in a goal, but sometimes you gotta recognize when the other team makes a great play.
