Sammy Blais getting hurt seems to have helped Gauthier come to life, but it's a big loss and tonight makes that obvious.
We're a really young team still. Three of our top four defensemen, three of our RWs, our starting goaltender, and Lafreniere haven't even played a full 82 game season before. You can't expect us to steamroll start to finish.
I think that game was handed to the preds by the officials. I do think we have a lot of room for improvement that will hopefully come with time. October we were as bad as the Coyotes but with a phenomenal goalie. November we were as dominant as Tampa. December has been a mixed bag. As long as we trend up, it's all good.
