My goodness... Russell is a team leading -16. The next closest Dougie Hamilton at a -10. That is just not right. Trying to trade him, sign him or whatever, with play that poor you're doing the team no good playing him. He deserves to sit.
Also, we need a goalie ASAP. The tandem that bailed us out many times last year is just not here. Not sure if a 3 goalie system really messed with their minds, but my goodness this is just horrific. I've never seen such fragile goaltending. Any shot from the point and I'm cringing because I know it has a high chance of beating them clean.
The positives tonight were our offense. We played well in the first two periods, dominated, got lots of chances. Only to be let down with our piss poor defense and goaltending. It's sad how what was supposed to be the best defense is literally the worst defense in the league. How is that possible?
