I think the thing that stung the most for me was this was the first game in a while that Georgiev was looking like he did last season but he got completely left out to try on multiple occasions. Hopefully he keeps playing like that and the defense starts giving him the support he needs, that would go a really long way.

Obviously a crappy ending but sometimes these things happen.
It felt like we didn’t take this game seriously like we took Dallas throughout though. It’s like we thought we suddenly figured everything out and would be good from here on out.
Our third line continues be the best line. The amount of effort they put up as a unit almost always leads to us pinning them in their defensive zone. I don’t see a full unit commitment to it on our other lines. There will be one or two like Nuke giving it all while others are just coasting.
I thought Manson didn’t look great. I was interested to see how things would go with Girard out because I didn’t think he played all that great last game…giving up some really bad turnovers. But I did feel we missed him and lacked the ability to get the puck out of his zone without him.
Georgiev had a good performance. Too bad we couldn’t get him the W this time.
Hopefully another important lessons was learned by the team. Take every opponent seriously. Close out periods. And get fresh legs out before the 6 on 5 starts. Rant should not have been out there that whole time. I’d rather see our best PK’ers out there.

I did not have a good time that last minute.
