Summary: Well, technically the goalie didn’t let in 4. Unfortunately the rest of that is one more for good measure for Winnipeg. 5-2 and outshot 41-28. The second period felt like the standard hole digging that the team gets at some point. 4-1 at the end of 2. Kane gets on the board, and the time looked similar to the last game. But, the third goal never came.
There just aren’t too many ways to turn this over right now. The team is playing poorly in their own zone and the goalies aren’t able to make game stealing saves. The two nights that they did, Detroit couldn’t score goals. This just feels rough.
The team is off the rails right now. Maybe a Christmas break will help reboot the system. There’s just nothing left to say. Wins are the remedy and giving up 4 or more isn’t going to lead to that. Let me know what you think from a player standpoint, a coaching standpoint and a manager’s perspective. Where does the change need to be implemented?
