Already were at 4 point games with Ottawa, and there you go. Play 20 minutes and win, play 40 and lose. How about paying a good 60 once in a while? Going into the 3rd I thought 'They've been playing well, comeback win in the 3rd' and nope.
Before the sixth goal I was going to give Woll some benefit of the doubt - but this was a bad game from him. Two goals by him the exact same way, and a last one that Steve Dangle will have a seizure over. I still start him over Sammy, but that gaffe doesn't happen and there's still a chance.
Matthews and Willy were extremely noticeable but Matthews made some bad judgment calls on shooting vs passing.
Johnny and Knies went in hard, though Knies made a few mistakes he did buy some karma for that little skate chop on Tkachuk.
Mitch had a horrible game though he did just have two huge ones, off and out of position all night.
Bertuzzi was noticeable in a good way all game, right in Korpisalo's face all night.
Domi was not noticeable at all...until that gorgeous sauce to Robertson. But before that he - and this is a recording - couldn't clear the zone.
Bobby also looks much more mature, playing a smarter game but he still needs to stay healthy and develop, but there's no denying those mitts on the goal.
Mo looks good, very good and Brodie continues his descent, he's not a liability, but he's close to one. The real problem is that when Mo goes through his occasional funks, he still racks up assists and the odd goal. Brodie makes too many hot passes guys can't handle and has never seen a shinpad or a stick he didn't want to shoot the puck at.
I do like this Lagesson kid - makes the simple plays. Speaking of simple plays, Gio has his pinch game down.
Klingberg scares me in the D zone but is great in transition and in the O-zone, nice effort by him tonight.
That 4th line is terribad. Jarnkrok was throwing more hits in the corner than Reaves, Gregor is a slightly smaller but much slower Lafferty (who has 3 goals) and I don't even know who the center is there, Kampf? At least Gregor and Kampf can PK, Reaves shouldn't play every game if he isn't gonna hit people.
Too many goddamn times I was watching and saw 'and Gregor sends it in'. You have two first lines who can play 25 and 20 minutes in these key divisional games and enough talent to blender up a third line that can do 13 and a 4th line for 4
Gregor: 10:41
Kampf: 11:49
Reaves: 8:24
Unacceptable!
Can we also give Jarnkrok some love here? People hate on him and yeah sometimes he's just there, then he has a game like tonight.
Somehow the patchwork D is holding it together. I expect a move.
I wish we had a kid like Sanderson and also wish we were deeper in on Chychrun.
Korpisalo was lights out, I'll pour one out.
Stutzle was also not very noticeable - but then he gets 4 points, Giroux was very dangerous all night.
A penalty against a team down by three with three minutes left and Ottawa really played a penalty free 3rd? Come on.
