Disgusting lack of effort in this game, what's even more disturbing is the complete lack of push back in the third period. I don't want to hear "We have to be better" or "We have to take a look in the mirror" interviews, This team needs a change to the core, it really does, it needs leadership in the locker room, its been lacking from the playoffs last year.
This was one of the most gutless efforts that I've seen.
I thought this team was turning the corner with solid games against the Oilers and Blues. But here we are again questioning this team.
I have trouble watching hockey over the last few years, I'm going to have more problems now, I'll check in on the scores. But if they're going to spend half of their time floating around believing that they're better then they are, then why waste my time.
They had every reason to come out hard tonight, instead they sat back and let the Oilers dictate to them for 55 minutes on their own god dammed home ice in front of their fans.
Gio is a great player, but he's maybe not a great captain anymore. Lucic should be thriving in these games instead he was completely gutless.
In the old days this would be a benching and bag skate scenario, but we know the players control things right now, and would object. Hey maybe they need a hug.
Bleah, No heart, no guts, no effort.
This is what 80 million gets you.
