The Edmonton game was far worse. I remain as pleased with the direction of the rebuild following this loss as I was following the St. Louis win. There was no lack of effort, only a lack of connecting passes and finish and a huge lack of skill relative to one of the hottest teams in the league. I expect these types of games on a bottom five rebuilding team, far more of them than we have seen this year. Stinker, yes. Unexpected or unacceptable or worse game of the season? No.
