Well, 2 points is 2 points but they have to play a lot better down the stretch.
Refs were atrocious and the no-call on Willy toward the end was just ridiculous. Only for Willy is that not a penalty.
Ovi should have shot. The better way to get the guys to stop feeding him is for him to get 50 so that it's no longer an issue.

I fully expect Willy and Vrana to get over 30 goals each next season. They both have 22 now. Willy had a short season without the curtesy of a reach around and Vrana has been improving all season.

Agree, our play has been horrible lately. I'm still just rooting for Ovi to get his 50th and the RR, because I know full well this team won't amount to anything this year. But I'm honestly concerned that Ovi will fall short of 50. The PP has been garbage, the overall effort as of late has been garbage (other than the TB game). There's too much glide, too many bad passes, PP sucks, etc.

Earlier in the thread Mick alluded to intestinal virus issues going through the team. Could that be the reason why the team has seemed off?
I wasn't at today's game -- church commitment.

Ovi isn't hitting 50 this year. Normally you'd think that with 6 games left he should easily score 2 or more goals. But nope, not this year. Here's why:
1) 4 of the next 6 games are against opponents who are defensively solid (and solid on the PK). Canes, Lightning, and Isles.
2) Ovi did not score against the Flyers, who are the worst defensive and PK team out of the 7 games he had left before today. Simply put, his best chance was today and he blew it.
3) Ovi himself apparently doesn't give a shit with that stupid passing play and giving up the ENG
4) The team is in glide mode. No one is trying hard at all.
5) The PP blows and Carlson can't put the fucking puck in Ovi's wheelhouse.
He has a chance to win the RR, but mostly if Draisaitl and Kane stay cold. But yeah Ovi ain't hitting 50, not at this rate, not unless some magical turnaround happens. But absolutely nothing has convinced me that a turnaround will happen.
4 Caps:
Good thing Holtby was on top of his game today because he basically stole a win for us. The second period was absolutely pathetic but fortunately we picked up our play in the third period. Two big games with Carolina coming up, good chance we will meet them in the 1st round so these games will be interesting. We need to send a message.
