Matthews was not at his regular spot on the 2nd PP hope that wrist is ok

I noticed that as well.... I don't know why they never gave him more rest, its not like we needed him those past 3 games.
Petan has gotta bring it this period. Running out of chances to stick....BC boy. Gonna be watching him closely.

The team looks tired but still carried a lot of the play. The big boys need to step up and finish this game off.
I do believe great teams find away.
Mind you the schedule is pretty condensed lol but still.

4th game in 6 days on a back to back, with your 3rd string goalie.. they look tired and are still in the game and look like the better team. Im okay with losing this one.
We need to start thinking about load management and use some games like this one to off load our depth guys and give Thornton, Matthews (wrist), Reilly, JT, Hyman, Spezza an off day.. let the depth guys play hungry on a back to back. It won't happen but playing this tired and banged up is giving away a win anyway and risking injury IMO... Why not just try it.. unless the players really want to play.

this is how you can lose to any team...goalie lets in soft goals and other goalie is hot
i mean just that period a puck hit hutch's glove and just trickled by, and earlier one went off his shoulder and just rolled by the net...just like the calgary goal, i dont know how a goalie lets pucks slip by him like that man

Looks like a combination of a back to back and depleted batteries, and lack of a mission after having to shut down McDavid and Draisaitl. Kind of sleep walking into a trap game.

You haven't noticed that Matthews is not playing like himself? pretty sure his wrist is still giving him issues.. but yes, back to backs will tire you out no doubt.
Kind of due for a loss TBH. You can't win 'em all and I doubt we're getting another one by Demko tonight.

Offered and lost
If it were anything like that he wouldn't be playing. At all.
Probably it's still just sore, pain with range of motion.

He's becoming one. He has been very good since his last game against you guys. Out here it's referred to as bubble Demko.
