Once again, they didn't wake up for the first period. And it translated over into the second as well.
Sure there was a bunch of missed calls by the refs, but the boys never converted on the PP anyways for the ones that they did have.
Loved Gio's hit that initiated the goal scoring play, but why wait until the 3rd when your frustrated to up the ante, go out and win within the first few shift. Bennett does this all the time too, passive passive passive, then the 3rd comes around and he lays someone out.
There's a lot of spots to clean up on this team, but I think starting on time has to be the biggest one. They dominated play for the better part of the 3rd, and they have the tools/lineup to do that for 60 minutes, they just don't.
