Woof - what was Markstrom thinking on that first goal (and Hrudey for that matter)? Hrudey said he "had to come out". No, he didn't. Could have stood his ground and MADE the shooter make the play. He scores, good on him, but give up a freebie 13 seconds in? Ugly. Bad decision making.

Speaking of bad decisions: starting Marky in the first place when you have a hot goalie going for you.

More bad decisions: the Power Play is atrocious. Slow. Predictable. Try the bump to the centre/half-boards, back to Andy, back over to the half boards, maybe try a shot from the left winger (oddly WAY more from the left than right); oops lost the puck...again, chase 200 feet, rinse and repeat.

Zero creativity and did I mention waiting. Still waiting. And more waiting. All the while the D and G get set up and have no problem playing the puck. Brutally bad.

This team needs...youth?
