Great team, but management blew it by not addressing the one weakness on the team-defense. They will almost certainly miss a once-in-a-decade? chance at the Memorial Cup due to this inaction.
Geekie's numbers have been pretty unimpressive the past several weeks on an offensively dominant team. I doubt he will be some #1 centre in the NHL like some posters seem to be predicting. Probably project more like a second-line player in all likelihood.
The ICE almost let that one slip away too. Holding on to a lead is a sore point with this team.
It's definitely a pattern with this team.
Get a 2 or 3 goal lead and sit back allowing our opponent to get back in the game.
OOOF
You were saying?
Luckily there is plenty of time for the ICE to get this sorted out before the playoffs. But this is a problem for sure, it seems that no lead is safe for this team.
Well atleast they are facing the adversity now and not in the playoffs.
At least this time it was a comeback that fell short as compared to a blown lead, but still. How do you go down 3-0 to Lethbridge in the first period? I wasn't able to make last night's game so I didn't see what happened. But these big, physical Central Division teams seem to be the ICE's kryptonite.
The ICE are almost in a legit slump now which hasn't really happened since the early months of the 2019-20 season.
Well atleast they are facing the adversity now and not in the playoffs.
My greatest concern going into the playoffs has been a lack of adversity.
We are a good team, but, with the exception of Edmonton, we are not playing the most talented teams in this division.
Hopefully, we are learning some important lessons right now.
What happens when a home game is up against a home game? Pick your perk.
