Which brings me to the other problem tonight was our lack of skill was on show tonight. There felt like a lot of times where we had clear lane but just couldnt hit the net. We certainly got goalied by Talbot when we did, but they need to be taking the chances they generate.
I liked both Frost and Farabee and feel they will be good additions to the team once they get settled in. Adding Zary back in will help a lot as well.
Detroit do a good job of filling up the middle of the ice.
I was surprised by the 4th line stats from Bingo tonight, as it looked they generated as many chances as there were against them, but I guess not.
Oh well, you win some and lose some, onto Seattle.

If the Flames get one early (who beat Talbot clean but hit the post in the 1st?), it's a different game.
If Wolf doesn't give up that late one in the 1st, it's a different game.
They should have come out of the 1st tied, or at worst, down 1.
Being down 2 allowed DET to trap for the rest of the game. And they did a good job of it.
