Big difference is one team actually practices exiting their own zone. BJs are quick and efficient. We usually only get one scoring chance and they get it out quick.

We have to be the worst in the league for how much effort it takes just to move the puck out, and how many times we literally pass it directly back still in our zone.  Watching that #$%$ show is difficult.

Let's be honest here.  First goal looked like the last goal.  Massive defensive failure.  Half coverage or no coverage at all.

 

Then our offensive zone play.  it's almost the exact same thing.  Columbus is employing a standard defense of 2-1-2 or being 2 forwards near the hashmarks, 2 defensemen on the boards and 1 forward directly in front of the blue paint.  They pick off every cross ice pass or manage to stick every puck going by.  It's almost sad how predictable it is.  

 

This is literally down to coaching, or an inability to change your game plan mid game.

 

What can you do?  We're kind of out of people to blame

Still have faith. However, since the Anaheim game the Canucks have been

concerning. The consistency has gone out the window and the ability to turn things around late has disappeared. If confidence and fragility are an issue in the room, it’s a tell tale sign this team is not ready or

capable of battening down the hatches and getting it done in crunch time, which means they aren’t ready for a brutal, 7 game series.

The problem with this team is they don’t know how to dictate play. They sit back and let the other team dictate play. Until they get that figured out. They are a mentally, fragile team. How about dominating a team once and a while. Is that too much to ask? Other teams do it all the time. We just struggle to really take it to teams.

Did anyone actually expect us to win this game given Sutherland is reffing this one?

Not even Sutherland’s fault, its his linesman that are having a shocker. The second goal was icing ignored for reasons.

Alright coach, it's about time we switch the game plan up for the third. Let's try the timeless classic of putting bodies to the net. No? Alright cool.
