First goal was a bad screen by Lindholm that created a juicy rebound to a sprinting Poolparty. Cannot fault Markstrom.
Second goal was a brilliant pass from Drai and a deflection off Backlund. Cannot fault Markstrom.
Third goal was a pure snipe by McD off the post. Markstrom needed to attack that shot to cut down angle but little time to do so.
Our woes are not goaltending but the harsh reality that our best forwards cannot elevate to nearly the same level as 97 and 29. It is so frustrating to see them double shifted and not even look tired.
Our best: 13, 23 and 19 pale in comparison. Can DS find another gear in them to close the gap?
