On the positive side it is really nice to see Oshie getting off to a great start. We are going to need Oshie to score more than 18 goals this season. I thought the top two lines looked good but bottom two lines were pretty much invisible. I was disappointed especially in the third line, they had a great game last night against Boston. They had 7 high quality chances last night, tonight they had 1.

Penalties isn't the entire story of this game. We gave up 5 even strength goals. That's way too many. Bad thing is that Holtby made a ton of great saves in this game and he still let 7 get by him. It could have and should have been worse. We didnt deserve a point in this game. And the Pens were almost as bad as us. One of the worst games I have seen in a long time.

Thought I would point out that Carlson was by far our best dman tonight in both ends if the ice. Pretty bad when Carlson is your shutdown guy.
Oshie was pretty easily our best forward. Pretty much everyone else sucked.

You think we played well? If you think that then your expectations are low.

Lol I'm just glad he is starting to play to his potential.
I hope this game isnt a sign of things to come.
