totally agree. Last night, he went with the blind, behind-the-back, pass to no one, multiple times. It resulted in a turnover pretty much every time.
I don't care what the high danger splits were, the top line got buried in their own zone all night long. They got owned. Gaudreau was good, but didn't have the puck much, because Lindholm and Tkachuk were not good.
Mangiapane was dangerous all night.
It was a real shame to see Kylington have a game-breaking shift like that, only to give it back with an unfortunate turnover the next shift. He felt terrible after the game, when he should have been feeling like a rock star.
Good hockey game overall, and they probably deserved a point. But it would be hard to argue that they deserved to win. So take the point and move on.
