I think it's a function of their overall play with a lead. They don't attack, they don't forecheck. They go into a shell and chase the opposition around. Hard to get possession to get off a shot when you aren't trying to.

UPL was able to steal them a game is what it boils down to. That was basically 20 minutes of Alamo Mode in the 3rd. Did they even have one meaningful possession sequence in the Canes zones during the 3rd period? I cannot recall one. No SOG for a whole period is pathetic. Whole team was on their heels during the third. Fortunately UPL was able to make some outstanding saves to preserve the W. That kind of period does not end favorably way more often than it does. This is one of this team's major problems. They do not know how to win. They get a lead, tense up, and go into protection mode...which they aren't good at. Instead of continuing to play the way that got them the lead, they go into a shell. You can see it in their faces and body language...they're just waiting for something bad to happen. If buttoning up when they have a lead is a Lindy strategy, then that's alarming. If it's psychological with the players, it's up to Lindy to fix it.

The triple word score 150.0 shooting percentage.

Always nice to beat a good team, but could they please hire a sports psychologist to teach these guys how to not ***** pucker with a lead?

"HATTIE" FOR MCLEOD

LOL Bar then a stick breaks. But they get it anyway.

Not. A. Single. Shot. This. Period. Terrible.

Damn. More good D on a breakaway by the Canes.

12:30 without a shot.

This is a clear trend. Is this a Lindy strategy with a 3rd period lead?

Have we even had the puck in their zone for more than 10 seconds this period?

I'll take 12 Benson's. Some a bit bigger, though. All Carolina. This might be up to UPL standing on his head.

They're just trying to to protect the damn lead. This won't end well.

Lafferty breakaway

Could feel that coming. SHOOT, DAHLIN!

Ugh. SHOOT THAT

Cliffy punished him for that.

Don't play tight. Don't protect the lead. Attack.

That's why you play til the buzzer.

MCLEOD x2

I'm so tired of hearing how this is the youngest team in the league.

Good D by the Cane trailing him, didn't catch who it was.

2-0 lead. You can hear their sphincters tightening.
