First goal UPL was one cloud nine behind the net.

Second goal UPL gave us his breakaway special.

In both cases he panicked.

If he didn't it'd be tied at ZERO.

PAY ATTENTION. (what a doosh thing to say)

Stop blaming the goalie.  Watch the game. The 18 skaters sucked.  Sure, the first goal is all on UPL.  The second goal was pretty much on Ryan Johnson.  That is what I mean by Pay Attention. If that was Clifton or EJ, you would have saw it. 

You can be more creative than blaming the goalie when we get SHUTOUT and DOMINATED.  We didn’t get a shot for over 8 minutes to start the game.   It could have been 2-0 before the 2nd even started.

Feels like some players whom have a bit of moxxy lose it if they are penalized or straight up beaten up.

Want to kill a team’s willingness to fight? Give the a freaking penalty every freaking time they are in a scrum and potentially a PK for their trouble.

The team is moderately soft akin to a Toronto but we seem to be the only team to get endlessly punished for daring to even try to be even slightly mean.

Just a rough night in general. UPL played well until UPL’s literal oppsie seemed to gut the team and then Arizona went full on LAK from the 2010s with the full on mugging and board play shtick. Our passes were always an inch off and/or bouncing like a freaking basketball. 
 

See ya all on Tuesday

Team didn’t deserve to win tonight with that 3rd effort but the refs certainly gave us no help.

Benson is awesome

They looked completely out of gas by the end of the 3rd.

Agree.  The TEAM did not show.

Will we ever get an actual power play ever again? 

Good point.  Last night the officials were homers.  Tonight, we did not play hard enough to draw a penalty.

@Pimlach reason and facts have no place here.

Quit being an informed poster and backing your comments with what actually happened.

That’s the problem, Mitts…

You and your teammates too often play “unconcerned” when you fall behind a goal or two… You boys think you will score easily with time… 

You all are lackadaisical… It is unprofessional.

For a Dorsey effect, I'd like a firing. Our pp coach needs to go yesterday. 

Then if not Matt Ellis (who never played on PP, and had same guys on PP last year)  who will tell Rayzor the Three Keys of the Game and give him Talking Points to report out to start the 2nd and 3rd periods?

That’s a tough loss. Sucks to say, but some of those top teams are probably playing down to us a little bit. It’s only human nature.

Gotta get it figured out quick. 50 games left, now. Only one 2-game win streak at this time is kinda astounding if you think about it. 

Expected regression seems to have hit the top guys even more than expected, which probably leaves those guys somewhere in the middle, from what we saw last year and what we are seeing this. Good base, but plenty of work to do from management to help out.

Still time to get a streak going, though. Maybe with Columbus into Toronto (one can dream.)

Thompson… “It sucks… We outplayed ‘em… Gotta be happy with that”…

Nope… Wrong, son… You outplayed them at times but you lost… You cannot ever be happy with that.

Raanta is available. Really not an improvement other than he is a vet and probably doesn't make as many gaffes 

Because he never is... look at his injury and illness games missed....

Did he really say that? If so, he is frighteningly unaware.
