Listening to Tippett’s presser yesterday didn’t fill me with hope. He said what I saw, but held back tossing Koskinen under the bus. “If the team plays better in front of the goalie, then the goalie will feel better about the team” (loosely quoted). He indirectly said our goalies need to make a save and the team needs to build from the good stuff they’ve been doing in the New Year.
Team played well for the first two periods of the last two games and bled in the third. Koskinen and Skinner gave up lots of stinkers. That Florida gets us a goal or two in most games. Do that from here on out and learn to lock down a lead.
Regardless of our scoring, I don’t think this team can win with 19. Prepared to drown my sorrows tonight.

He got torn apart for throwing Koski under the bus a couple weeks ago. He won’t do it again this soon after.
At this point though, can we really fault the team in front of him for sagging seeing some of the crap he lets in? Compared to the saves occurring at the other end of the rink, to see the level of shots go in against your goalie would be mega deflating. Once or twice, sure you battle through it. But man when it keeps happening.. it would certainly wear on me.
The Must for tonight is legitimately off the charts. But I don’t know if I can watch for fear of disappointment. BoA’s are supposed to be exhilarating as a fan but this organization is fundamentally wrecked and no level of failure tonight, regardless of a coach firing, will change the fortunes of this club. I’m not mad... I’m just disappointed.
