That was Dunn trying to do too much.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Hmph.

That was Dunn trying to do too much.

Dunn has developed a habit of coughing up the puck in his own zone.

He has not really been good since he came back from injury.

We had something going there in their zone, but Dunn fumbled the puck and spoiled the party.

Where was this kind of possession in the first half of the game? Were we giving them a big three-goal lead to lull them into a false sense of security?

Isn't that really been our MO for majority of this season.

 

[kihei]

Awful, awful giveaways. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

 

[kihei]

Pull the goalie and then leave Wright on the bench until there are only 31 seconds left.

This pattern of the team sort of appearing and disappearing in an almost random way through different parts of a game, that has to be a coaching problem on some level, no?

You’d have to think so. This team is like an old Eastwood movie. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and they rotate periods.

I didn’t watch this game. I could have, I just didn’t feel like it.

I checked the score line to see the result but didn’t analyze the box score, pull up Natural Stat Trick, or look at the Hockey Stat Card chart.

Quite frankly, I’m tired of this combination of 20 players. A half dozen or so of them have demonstrated they don’t particularly give a shit so honestly neither do I.

I’m hopeful the Tampa trade signals acknowledgment by the FO that this isn’t working and symbolizes a new direction. That thought has me more engaged than I’ve been all season.
