For the amount of talent that we're icing, to walk away from that game with a 50% effort and lose to a team mostly consisting of nobodies... is garbage.
McDavid can't score. He's lost his ability to finish, and he's getting desperate. He's forcing plays that came naturally to him in the past. He hasn't lost his effort, but he's definitely lost a lot of his mojo. He has 21 goals this year. Matthews has 52. That's an insane drop off for last year's Rocket trophy winner.
Effort again is what kills this team though. Sure they got a lot of shots and some great chances, but they can't finish when it counts and they just can't really finish in general. They are super lazy for long stretches (the entire first period of this game), let their foot off the gas and pay for it, almost every time.
This is more like the team that started the year than the one that turned things around.
I hate to say it, but if this organization thinks they have what they need to make a legit Cup run this year... they are going to be sorely disappointed. This team will be lucky to get past the first round.
