Thoughts?

My last post was at the start of all this painful hockey, so… where do we even begin? And honestly, where do they begin? No one should be freaking out over these games — we’re going to be fine once our guys get healthy. Right now it’s just unorganized hockey with no real plan, and it shows.

Ekblad? I’ll admit it — I used to be one of his biggest critics for a few seasons. But he’s holding this organization together right now. I’m keeping my mouth shut until the end of the season because he’s stepped up in a huge way. Leading by example matters in the locker room, and he’s doing exactly that.

There’s emotion and hard work out there, but it’s time to hit the playbook. Dump-and-forecheck isn’t working with this roster. I’d also like to see Tarasov get more reps — these games are perfect for knocking the nerves off.

We have seen the cardiac cats before nothing new.

Go Cats. Let take the rest of the game.
