Thing with the NHL now is that it’s such a tight league that you really need to bury your chances when you get your opportunities, because you’re not going to be able to run over a team for 60 minutes both nights.
Against both Carolina and Pittsburgh the first periods were easily 2 of the best periods of hockey they have played this season. And they came out of it with 1 goal, and a bunch of highlight reel saves by the other goalie.
Then when the other team got their chance they capitalized on their chances, and our goalies have been outplayed.
It sucks but it’s nothing to get overly concerned about. If they keep coming out and dominating the first like that they will win more than they lose for sure.
