Just got back from the game. It was one where you could tell both teams were slumping and lacking confidence.
I was happy to see us get a point in a tough rink to play at, and Johnny has scored both times I've seen him live.
Flames on an incredible streak of bad puck luck. how many own goals like that get scored a season? 2? over 2450 games? Of course it had to be us.
I was least happy with the play of Raymond. Guy had to stop and think every time the puck was on his stick. Never made a swift reaction play once all game. Colborne was reasonably effective.
Engelland continues to be absolutely terrible. Watching his bone headed plays live was much worse than seeing him on the tv. He just doesn't know what to do with the puck EVER. Every time he gets the puck in our end he just dumps it up the boards to the opposition. He has the creative capacities of a ceiling fan.
Who is going to bring this team out of its slump? Giordano can't continue to be both game-maker and breaker. He's gotta settle it down. Give Brodie more room to be offensive and start winning us some games on good D.
I'd also love for a goalie to win us a game at some point.
I really believed having all this veteran depth come back would make us better. we have not been better.
