This is their normal though. They played like this all last year and in the playoffs. I guess this is the system Tocchet loves - ride the PDO train and hope Demko can be Demko.

Pathetic strategy.
Right, it's their normal. But it's not normal for a Cup-aspring team. They absolutely can't play like this. That sounds like an obvious statement but I'm even talking about when they play well. They still play a low shot, low chance game. Like in the playoffs it was pretty bad but at the same time you got the feeling they were playing just about as well as they could

Pettersson is absolutely a passenger. A very talented passenger, to be sure, but a passenger. That's how he plays. His saving grace is that he's so effective defensively. That's what staves off the passenger label somewhat.
I mean I feel like you need to be as good as Barkov defensively if you want to make that your calling card as a #1C.

Pettersson is solid defensively but he needs to be putting up at least 95+ points on top of that, because he's not as good defensively as a Barkov or a prime Kopitar, for example.

It’s never going to work in the playoffs. They’re lucky they got the Preds round 1.

If this game is of any indication, and by that I mean ANY indication, we are going to win maybe only 2 games of the next 10. And Colorado on Monday will absolutely rip us apart down to the subatomic level.

This is beyond pathetic. Everyone should be ashamed and write a 3k words essay to apologize to Demko and the fans.

After the last game – plan the Stanley Cup route. One game later need to tear the team down and start over sadly I can’t watch this game being that I’m in Mexico. And God I hate losing to Boston.
