The 3 players I had the biggest problems with tonight:
3. Brodie - made a few bad plays, including letting the player skate to the slot on the first goal after dropping his stick.
2. Frolik - he took a penalty at a terrible time in the game, I thought he made some bad passes, one of which was a pass back that got picked off by Nashville's forecheck. Reminded me of Vegas game last year in some ways. One great game and now back to the doghouse.
1. Smith - if Andersson is positioned closer to the pass on a 2-on-1 and slides down to block it, why are you in a position to save the pass which leaves you slightly exposed on the shooter? A fourth line grinder shouldn't be roofing it on our starting goalie.
I didn't like Neal's penalty that cost us either but overall thought he was skating hard tonight and continues to build chemistry with Bennett. Ryan looked quite good with them on a few shifts.
