On the bright side we got a shot on goal in this period

Yes, I think the shots are something like 15-0 this period.
Those extra minutes from shortening the rotation are catching up with us, maybe. Of course, if Columbus shoots their wad and it's still 3-3, maybe we can still figure out a way to pull this out. But you have to shoot at the net to score.

Columbus shortens some of their bench too. Not as much on forwards, but on D. Jones/Weirenski or however you say his partners name play A LOT. I'm not implying we aren't short shifting, just that I think your reaching a bit saying that Columbus rolls all their players. They haven't this entire series, Seth Jones especially has been on the ice the most of any player in the entire series.

Well, you're right in that Torts didn't even put his fourth line on the ice in the 3rd period. But besides the big stud Jones on defense, the minutes for all their other d-men are very balanced. Ours aren't.

I thought we were okay in the first and most of the 2nd, but this period is BAAAAAAAAAAAAD. Like wow. WAKE UP CAPS. FFS. Your at home with a chance to take a big series lead, it's time to start showing your fans you matter in the playoffs. Like it's almost embaressing here, like Fans throw garbage at them embaressing. 16-1 the shots were since we scored in the 2nd. Like, it's one thing to be prevent defense but wow.
Other than a few dumps it's like "forecheck, what is that?" Ugh sometimes I hate this team.

Well, we lost the first two in OT here. How can anyone be optimistic about this one after that god-awful 3rd period. It would be nice to think Trotz had something useful to say between periods but I find that very hard to imagine.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the next goal is the series
