Kuz was trying way too hard. He’s in his own head. Constant tapping his stick on the ice, over skating out of position, taking stupid penalties.
His game was a microcosm of the flames all night. Insanely frustrating. Dominated the Preds in chances but what really killed us, besides the terrible special teams, was not executing our chances. Man there must have been 20 almost amazing plays last night. Always just a little bit out of sync, passes bounced or a foot off target, or shots that went off target, guys a bit out of position, one too many passes etc.
On the plus side Huberdeau and Kadri looked good. We just couldn’t finish.
