I kinda feel like Daffy Duck playing Robin Hood ("Yoikes, and away!" only to smash right into a tree....over....and over....and over....). Good points in the game; The Cat & Kane tallied, Lyon sounded pretty solid (had to listen to the game....travelling for work...AGAIN!). Absolutely ZERO clue for Sprong not being in the line-up, unless he said something mean n nasty
Getting a point is good, but we really let this one slip away. This team has GOT to find a way to hit the ice pissed off every game and stay that way. I mean, yeah it's hard to perform at an incredibly high level for 60min every other night or so.....but that's what ya get paid to do, that's what you train for.....I just don't get it.
Honestly, I didn't THINK we'd even still be in the hunt when the season started, at least not this late in the season. So I'm impressed that we made it this far and COULD still make it this year. But, the reality is I just don't see it happening. I watch teams liek FLA, VGK, etc... Those dudes skate like the wind EVERY shift, ALL game, EVERY night. We simply don't have the horses to run like that.......yet. ASP played well the other night. He needs to be in GR next season. Eddy sounded good (again, preference is to WATCH a game so I can see what guys do off the puck...). There are some good players in the queue. We're going to be ok in the future, but the reality is that it's probably 2-3yrs away. At least it's closer NOW that it was 8 years ago!!!
