I missed the game, so I don't know which is correct.
Was it a bit of both?

He was fine but took a bad penalty in the 3rd that resulted in the winning goal. It was a marginal call in the offensive zone like the one a few games back where the goaltender stuck out his rear while Bennett was skating behind the net to draw a goaltender interference penalty but the common denominator is that he can’t be putting himself in situations where he’s giving officials the opportunity to make a judgement call. The reality is that Gio took another poorly timed minor right after for slashing (also marginal call) but fans are going to focus on the player that many of them are frustrated with.
Overall they were just not on their game tonight as a team and we all know they weren’t going to go undefeated on the road for the rest of the season so they just have to rest up tomorrow and get focused to be ready to face an Islanders team that will make them pay for a sloppy effort like tonight.
