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?

It’s partly bounces.
Look, the first two goals are a bad decision by Lindholm and a bad bounce on Backlund (but a highly likely goal situation, so no fault on him for trying)
It was a game that could have gone either way, and Calgary started hot but had no head coach to manage the pushback
Result sucks, effort was there off the hop, but as the game progressed, that’s where you need a coach
Result sucks but no big deal
