I didn't think we played THAT BADLY until the 3rd period of the Blackhawks game. It definitely showed that we have to have Cam steal wins for us a lot of the time, because a decent goalie in Peters can't do it with what's in front of him. Cam basically stands on his head for us night in and night out. The problem there is running him into the ground prior to a possible playoff appearance.
As far as any commentary on the game itself, I just don't have much to say. I thought they would have been amped up after the win over the Slugs and they came out there and laid that egg.
And of course the Slugs, Rangers and Leafs have all won since then and we find ourselves in 9th place for the moment. We're going to have to take our own destiny here because asking other teams to beat the teams they should beat and helping us get in is obviously not going to work.
It's sweet to win. It's more sweet to beat the Slugs. It's great to send a few busloads of slug fans back north with an L on the books, even if it was an overtime loss.
