In my case I'm not at all embarrassed. That would be the case of both games had been mirror images of game 7 vs New York from last year.
Frustrated is another matter. Especially since the same mistake has ended up in the back of the net 3 times and has led to the vast majority of their offensive zone chances even when it hasn't.
This is still winnable if they clean that up, but that needs to be done immediately.
For a team known for their ability to get pucks out (contrary to what our GDTs would let you believe) they sure have been deciding the worst times for that to break down. I'll blame it on fatigue, and the fact they had so many chances that didn't go in. That's the thing. We usually outlast the opponent defensively, and at least pot one or 2 because of the opportunity that presents, but Bob and the Panthers ability to collapse on him is making it next to impossible to get that advantage. They're giving up a ton of shots as the stats indicated they would. It's just not to our favor yet unfortunately.
When do we get more traffic in front, and get our deflection game going....
