How did we go from one of the youngest teams a few years ago to 4th oldest………my god this night just keeps getting better
Point was made today on air, it’s literally been years since a prospect cracked the bottom six. And we keep losing guys like Mik.

I thought Muzzin wasn’t that bad tonight until that absolutely brutal last play. First line was invisible and looked they they were playing a preseason game. A lot of missed passes and shots into the pads of opposing d-men as to be expected in a first game of the season but still disappointing. Murray? Thought he was good first period but then fell apart a bit but we definitely have to give him more of a run to see for sure what we have with him. Lastly, I thought JT looked real good. Quicker, slicker, more dynamic. That’s definitely a positive.
 
And what that has to do with regular season I’m still yet to figure out…
It has to do with the fact that this team hasn't done anything to get the benefit of the doubt after a bad start. Whether it's the regular season or not.
 
Remember when we waived a solid backup...... bled points and lost in the playoff qualifier?

That was the backup. Samsonov better be a diamond in the rough or it's gonna be a long, long season.
 
I dunno about this team. They will get their wins but it’s kind of depressing at this point. They didn’t look any better tonight than the last 5 years.
 
Dominate as in they gave up absolutely nothing off the cycle really. 3rd goal takes a weird bounce off a skate, other 3 goals are all odd mans (thought Murray should have had Caufield's 2nd) - last goal started because Holl turned it over at the MTL blue line, then the tire fire trying to clear off that fire drill.

It's not an excuse - I just don't think those types of mental breakdowns leading to turnovers are going to happen nearly as often when they knock off some of the rust.

I think the 4th goal deflected off of Holl too when he went to block it. I think Murray saves it if it didn't hit Holl.

The last 3 minutes of the game put a damper on what was actually a very solid game for Murray, and as Keefe said, he was left out to dry (at least at the end).
