This might sound like a hot take, as I did not watch the game because I was working and just saw the score updates:
I think we are too light on Giordano around here. Not for his play, but the last few years of his captaincy have been tough as fans- the team rarely comes motivated, seems undisciplined. We pin it on the coaches but some of it has to come from internal leadership. Where is the captain's voice in this!
Peter's need to show these clowns there will be consequences. Bag skate them for hours. Verbally berate them. Sit Monahan. He needs to do something.
He can't just say, "were not winning puck battles, lack of foot speed, not good enough." That's meaningless cheap talk.
He needs to do something meaningful. This is where Darryl Sutter shines. He knows how to take advantages of emotions to get his message across. You will play hard or you will not play. This is the battleground. This is the hill to die on.

Oh, come on. This isn't a wakeup call. Wednesday was the wakeup call. This is sleeping through the first six alarms and walking (not even sprinting) to a thirty-minute meeting and arriving two hours late.
