Now that I agree with - they definitely suffer from a bit of complacency with a lead, heading into the third. They seem to be a little surprised at the push back from professional hockey teams (mind you, if they watched Oiler film this year they could have expected them to crumble).
But I was specifically responding to the argument that they don't come out with energy. They had that issue in the first quarter, but IMO they have addressed that one pretty well.
That said, they need to match the Knights energy. Those guys play with pace all game long - I haven't seen any team do it like them for a long time.
