My favourite part of that last sequence for a goal... was watching the intensity of the back checking players. Truly inspiring... and pretty much the same level of give a crap and urgency they showed on the 5 on 3 power play earlier tonight.
I can take a loss but not when it’s from this kind of effort when you should be showing heart. The only good thing was scoring by committee tonight. Other then that... not much else to say, defense really hung Smith out to dry and he looked very average himself. Bad combination.
You don’t have to look beyond effort and heart to see it’s the biggest problem with this team. Any sign of adversity and they just fold, not much sense in making the playoffs if that is how you gonna play you won’t make it pay round 1 anyways.
