Looks like any time we try to push and force things against you guys the team blows a tire. Nice game last night.

Wow you won a regular season game and got swept in the playoffs you're a dolt. Islaes had a bad game all around it happens

Why be so defensive? I genuinely thought it was an exciting game. Looking forward for the next one

I never understand people who chirp when a team loses after a long win streak, how many teams win 10 straight? Oh you guys lost, meanwhile their team was 4 6 over the previous 10 or something

Not defensive at all they weren't that good from the start and played most of the game in their own end. That's usually not a recipe for success and that was clear from last nights results

I thought they controlled play in the first then crapped the bed in the 2nd and third. If Pulock wasn’t in the line up we would’ve won. 😂😉

Sucky way to end a streak but it had to end eventually at least we got a point... Most important thing is how they respond against Florida tomorrow who have been playing well.

💯 and they still got a point

I thought Pulock was a lock in your lineup. Is he that bad? What did you think about John Marino from the Pens? A rookie for us. He's not a big point producer but can skate and move the puck quick.

Exactly. These kind of games can be heartbreakers but you at least get something in the standings out of it.

You could pretty much feel that outcome coming from a mile away last night. They looked like hot garbage.

Reporter asked Trotz if this could become a "trend". Barry looks at him deadpan and says, "This will not be a trend".

I hope his Richard falls off in a very public place

I am still furious we lost that game. I know we are not going to win every game and of course it will happen. ... BUT .. It's very fken different when you lose a game 4-1 on a bad night. Going into a Division game up 3-0 at home into the 3rd period you have to find a way to win that game. .... I am sure we will have a dud game in the next few weeks. That was just a bunch of guys who thought they could just mail it in in the 3rd period.

Brock had a very "old Brock" game. had a few golden opportunities to score and did not.. looked very passive in d-zone a few times. Gave puck away twice in OT and one ended in the back of his net. ...

Varly was not great.

Ironically it was Bailey's best game on the D-side I have seen all year.

I hope Trotz is bag skating these guys today. My guess is some guys are sent down or scratched just to send a message.

MDC is invisible on the ice by the way. He is a non event for me.

This was my point a while ago asking does MDC want it enough? Has he worked on his skating enough? MDC was drafted in the first round so he must have some sort of talent for this game. It's similar with JHS. Certain players you have no choice in questioning their desire level.

I think Wahlstrom should be sent down to get top line minutes in Bridge.

He will and it'll be the right move. But his time in the NHL was promising, even despite not putting up any points.

Me too, just looks out of sync. Had some chances to score but hasn't put it together. Getting top 6 minutes in BP can't hurt.

I like young players getting a look and have no issue if they need to return to Bridge. My issue was Garth and Cappy sitting players for Strait type players.

Wahlstrom did show some good signs. I'm not worried about Wahlstrom putting it together.
