I have no idea what to predict here. My brain says we are a joke again, but my heart says they'll actually work hard this time.
If I were to make a prediction - the effort level, or at least the appearance of effort is there, but we lose regardless due to one of an incredibly stupid and preventable error(s) and/or goaltending. This would be an improvement, as over the past 3 game we have made incredibly stupid/preventable mistakes, had terrible goaltending, AND decided to bring basically our worst possible level of focus and effort.
Baby steps.
