Defence definitely hasn’t been an issue, but we can’t create offence on the rush because our break outs are lacking, giving the opposition time to get into position and drive us wide, decreasing the quality of our shots.

Shot attempts were only marginally higher in the 3rd than the first two periods
It came down to the puck slithering wide by inches on a number of occasions...Hammer's 3 v 1 post that bounced off Kuemper and somehow ends up wide - that is in the net 9/10 times after hitting the goalie like that
Hopefully we take two points tomorrow night - 2/4 on a back to back like this won't be too much to complain about and hopefully some of the folks on this forum can step back from the ledge
