This team knows how to put just enough effort in to make it look like they almost pulled out a W, enough to keep that little bit of hope in the fanbase simmering at the surface. A missed chance here, a bad bounce there and it would have been closer! It’s the same players, the same core, the same effort. The bulk of the minutes are Johnny, Monahan, Backlund, Tkachuk and Gio. We know what this team is, there is no mystery, they’re not all of a sudden going to flip a switch and be like “oh right this is how to win!”. They’re a mid tier team with a flawed construction, no top end talent down the middle, and our best players are very slow.
