If Frolik or Brodie score on those open nets and the refs called the holding the stick instead of the roughing at the end of the 2nd we are talking about a win right now.

The lack of discipline and penalties cost us the game. It's hard to generate any offensive flow when your players are in and out of the penalty box. Plus when you're always on the PK your best players are sitting on the bench.
We allowed them to skate uncontested through the neutral zone which allowed to gain enterance to the offensive zone and generate a lot of offence. Our team defence as a whole needs to better and it's not even close to where it was during the last half of the season before.
