People will be quick to jump on Bartkowski, but he was not the problem tonight. It was clear to see by the second period that our forwards weren't committed to defense today, and that cost us the game.
Johnny Gaudreau specifically with a horrid night that cost us two goals. No awareness, no effort on defense. That's absolute bull**** as we head into the playoffs. Any contender will dispose of this team in four or five games in the first round if that's how we're playing.
As someone said in the gamethread, our stars can't half ass it, especially this time of year, you will not win games that way.
