Pretty sure 3 of the 4 Kings goals came off rebounds. The 4th on the breakaway.

But, as long as there are 2 points at the end of the day...

There’s been a lot of odd man rushes against us on this road trip… not sure if it’s the time zone or what but we aren’t playing our best hockey right now. Both goalies are giving us a chance though.

What I saw:

  • 23 shots is not going to get it done. And the only goal was from a defenseman.  11 of the 23 shots came from the blue liners. Meanwhile, these guys each had 1 shot on goal: Aho, Troc, Staal, Nino, Jarvis, Necas.
  • No net front presence. Nino, Tro, Staal- you can usually count on those guys to be in front, but not last night.
  • KK and Jarvis are both playing better than Svech right now.
  • Did Turbo make this road trip, because he's been MIA for a couple games now. 

But look, a west coast swing with a possible 8 points on the line thus far and the Canes have 7. I was thinking 8 points would be a good trip, but between Seattle and Philly, I can see 9.

23 shots and 23 blocked shots. Defense have started selling out to block everything we throw and help their goalies. We really should have tried to move to the close game, and should in general in the future until we can open up our lanes again. Also only 39% on the face offs. That’s abysmal.

Yeah, I didn't even mention the faceoff circle. Terrible on the draws, and this wasn't a game that saw a lot of icing calls, so it's not like we didn't have the preferred guy taking the draw.

But, imagine this- the Canes are 14-2-1 and we're bitching about their performance. Any other team makes this road trip and they'd feel lucky to get 6 of the 12 points available.

Ya, the toughest part too is we have an identical road trip coming up in early December, through Canada and Minnesota. We better be on point for that one with 4 very good teams + Vancouver. 
 

I think the worst part about last night though wasn’t the loss but the fact the capitals gained a point on us in their same western states road trip.
