Let's be fair about Locke/Carnevale - that situation didn't hurt us. Sometimes you have to go after the proven scorer in exchange for a high-ceiling prospect if you want to make noise. It was the two penalties late in a game in OS that cost us.
Watching the third period right now, one thing is obvious: our forwards have zero jump in their game. None. A two-man PP with four-min to go and they do the same play over-and-over-and-over-and-over again. Ebert to Rychel for the one-timer on the point. You're not going to win if you're...a) putting it over the net...or b) putting it in the chest protector. There wasn't even a consideration of "let's try something else." If you scout us, we're easy to stop.
All we can do now is regroup and hope for a sweep against Saginaw next weekend. It's doable.
