    Same old same old. We simply cannot play against solid defensive teams that drive the net with their physicality. It will be a long second half of the season. Some actual goaltending might have made it closer, but we were not in this game after about the first 5 minutes or so. 

    Probably meaningless but slightly irritating observation, too much smiling on the bench after falling behind 4-1. Tanking going to result in teaching this next young core to be okay with losing like they did with the last young core? Hope not. Probably not a big thing, but it irritated me. 

    There’s a scene in ‘Moneyball’ where Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) walks into the A’s locker room following a loss to find them laughing and dancing to music on a boom box. Beane calmly walks over to a rack, grabs a bat and smashes the ***** out of the boom box. The players are all staring at him, stunned. He waits a few seconds in the continued silence, then says “that’s what losing sounds like” before walking off. I’d like Granato to watch that scene.
