How long does it take for the team to get over these extended breaks? Does anyone remember? Do they?

I don't think that's true at all.

I'm confused by Ward's game plan. Seems like we just sit back and fumble it around while waiting for either a powerplay or a goal against.

Hope the flames muster a shot or two this period, despite playing an ok game thus far.
The Leafs are not in another league skill wise, come on.

We're just not playing our best or sharpest, and even given that fact, the gap here is not large at all.

We'll be okay if we can start simplifying and shooting.

I don’t get why the lucic line has a minute more ice time than the gaudreau line.

Our breakout seems to involve our forwards getting the puck, making a pass back to the middle (defence), then bolting the zone and waiting for a pass from the defenceman.

Slow as #%^*, and it will never work. It’s why we look like complete junk in the neutral zone/don’t get into the offensive zone with possession.

It’s a junk strategy.

Just shoot it, Johnny. What the hell?

That was an awful pass.

How come the Sens can generate more offensively than this team?

Is it systems?

Johnny is back to not being able to make a pass at even strength for some reason.

That wasn't even close on the 2 on 1, and he flubbed it twice the shift before having to double back repeatedly. I don't get it.
