First off it sucks to lose to Edmonton, but man there is a lot of over reaction going on here.
Secondly this team is poorly constructed. It is too slow and too small. I really like Monahan and Tkachuk and they were the right picks at the time, but man do they look slow on the ice. Brouwer was brought in for his size, but the guy moves like a slug out there.
All teams go through tough stretches during a season, with the compressed schedule this year it magnifies it.
Going with Johnson last night was clearly a mistake, but I don't blame GG for going back to him, because even I cringe every time Elliott is in net. Elliott is good for a bad goal in pretty much every game he has played this year.
