In what regard? We defended really well for the most part, especially in the 3rd where we restricted them to barely anything. But for 40 minutes we offered the grand total of naff all in their zone. Hartley needs to massively jig the 2-4th lines up, just isn't happening. Few sparks here and there, but nothing really of note.
Raymond was anonymous, really don't see what Bollig offers. Ferland is another that needs to buck his ideas up and start contributing. Backlund had a strong 2 way game, probably our best forward. Frolik looks sharp and he looks fine on alongside Backlund. Gio had his best game defensively, still lacking offensively, but hopefully he is ramping back up to his best. The rest of the d were ok, nothing they could have done with either the first 2 goals. Just luck and bad goaltending.
Ramo, god he's so frustrating. Rock solid for 58 minutes and then lets that one in to lose us the game. The life of a goalie in a nutshell. Time for Ortio to get a run. Put him in tomorrow and hope to god he takes off.
Really poor start to the season. Offensively we've been garbage, utter garbage. The odd decent moment, but we're struggling to maintain any sort of pressure, our puck possession is still terrible, we're still getting hemmed in our own zone too often. Time for Hartley to start earning his paycheque and get the team going. Lose tomorrow and I can see some going mental. Big pressure on them now.
