Its not just about the 2 goal head start, its about the bad turnovers and poor mistakes made defensively all game. I mean, how did Seabrook get all that time and space to score their 3rd? And the play by Hiller for the 4th, man that was terrible. Diaz, Engelland and Smid had terrible games. None of them are capable of playing on the 2nd line.
But, loads to be positive about. We competed hard as per, gave the Hawks a right old game. PP was generally pretty good, the forwards collectively had their best game tonight, wasn't just one or 2 that had good shifts like in most games.
After winning this series 4-3, we can now start a fresh series against the Devils full of confidence that we've faced off against the best the West has to offer and not come up short by much at all. Not bad for a 2nd year rebuild team.
