MSL has no sense for the dramatic. Last shift of the third he's got the plumbers out there. Classic trying not to lose instead of trying to win Fredo hockey.
Why the fuck was Evans playing in OT? And the only time Demodov saw the ice then was when Chicago had the puck.
Then in the shootout Demidov should have been either first or third to shoot. There's no pressure for him. He just fucking got here and already had 2 points despite being saddled with Newhook. Let the star be the star. What are you saving him for?
We need to accept the fact that this team is a fraud. If it can't beat fucking Chicago in a must win game, at home, it's a fraud. If it has to back into the playoffs on the last day of the season it's a fraud.
They are going to miss the playoffs because, in 2 games versus the shitty Blackhawks, they only garnered one measly point out of a possible 4 points.
That's the fucking season right there. Any team that can't beat Chicago is fucking garbage, full stop. They should have just tanked from the get-go and got another top 5 pick.
