Unfortunately didn’t catch the game tonight, but no excuses for blowing a 3-0 lead no matter how you play.

Luckily didn’t cost us anything in series terms.

At some point we have to admit losing John Muse, effectively hurt us more than we care to admit, I don't know over the series how many he would have stopped in comparison to Churchfield and Warburton but I expect it would have significantly altered at least 2 maybe 3 games..

Winning the league with your second and third netminder isn’t too shabby though.

Not heard about muse, assume he is out for the duration now. All for some silly unnecessary play.

I think being confirmed 1st place before this game made the guys ease off a little bit.

Good 1st period but that was about it tonight for me. Very poor in the face off circle and Graham’s penalty was also a poor one from him.

As much as we’re missing our first choice netminder, we don’t look a 60 minute team

I have spent a considerable portion of my day in the pub so my analysis maybe isn’t as sharp as normal lol

That was my point really..

Gifted a three goals in first period and still blew it.
Lazy and over play, sometimes simple percentage hockey is needed. Forwards too busy thinking about the offensive zone and not doing enough defensively.
Eberle is a monster. Finishing hits from first to last minute. Our first line is whatever line Eberle is on!
Like last year's team I think we lack a bit of physicality in the forwards.
I've been disappointed with olden the last few games, he seems to be coasting no more that 75% effort.
The loss of Muse has evened up the competition.
It's not impossible that we could get knocked out of semis quite easily. Typical for us poor discipline, with below par netminding along with our goalscorers-eberle and kirk-having an off night and it could be curtains for us .

Very poor tonight. No excuses. 11 games played and the same silly mistakes happening in our own zone all the time. Hanging the goalies out to dry every game and then the soft ones popping past the backups in goal.

Has Olden flown home?? I mean we were told this guy was going to light up the series. Should have taken DeLuca every day of the week for me.
