Too much east-west passes, Hudler constantly passing when he should shoot. Unable to hit the net for our lives, and when we do, it's weak and easy.
I'm slightly embarrassed. Luckily not as much as the Oil game. But still.....
Only "bright spot" is that the Oil and Isles are actually closing in on us now. Possibility at picking Ekblad is growing, especially if those two can actually string a couple games.

We can criticize the effort and direction all night, but at the end of the day with the lack of talent up front, the the injuries to key offensive players on the backend, there just wasn't much in the line-up the last few nights to generate a consistent offensive attack. These games are going to happen, and when they do they generally appear pretty lifeless when really it's more just indicative of the talent on the ice. Burke certainly has some work to do.
