Maybe he meant they were clinging to playing a decent defensive game, waiting for a mistake, but it seemed pretty obvious which team was going to crack first. Personally, I was already pretty aggravated by then, but was also holding onto the idea that playing that way was the right way, but it's honestly hard to believe anyone could think they do anything well or even at an AHL level. I guess watching them lose 5-2 in a run-n-gun would be funner, but they'd just end up like the Sabres a couple seasons ago having to unlearn and relearn everything if they did. It's going to be really hard to watch, but hopefully things start clicking eventually. If things don't get better I'd like to see organizational changes sooner rather than later.
As for the game, I'm sure everyone's dumping on Jackson, but it was his first game, and Gudas stupidly pinched on one goal, and Tristan was screaming for the puck on the other. Still both his fault, but I can live through his growing pains better than I can watching our 15 year veteran doing worse wearing an A. Sooo much to be frustrated/angry about, but young guys making mistakes is not it. I'm hard pressed to find any positives in the team other than Dostal and maybe Stroke(which will prob be short lived).
