Awful effort, again. Rinse and repeat with these guys. The Christmas break sent this team back to the beginning of the season and the nonsense play that came with it.
So many guys on this roster are playing well below what they are capable of.
Drai, Hyman, Pod, Henrique, Janmark, Frederic, Ekholm, Bouch and Nurse are all playing well below established potential. Some dramatically so, like Drai. Brutal game from 29 again today. Just not even close to good enough.
One thing to add. I'm done being PO'd at Frederic, and am only really PO'd at Bowman and the pro scouting staff for trading for him and giving him that ridiculous contract. He's legitimately trying out there, however clearly has lost a step and his hands during his recovery from last year's injury. He's just not good enough to do anything of note anymore. Doesn't hit, can't skate, can sort of make a pass, doesn't fight... and we have that contract for 7 more years. Gross.

If Pickard didn't steal a game, could easily me 0-4 since the break. Determined to lose 1st in the West I guess.
I thought the kids barely got to play tonight, but Frederic played even less than those 3 youngins. Coach seems to be tired of his crap too.
Imagine if someone else gave him that 8 year deal. They would have to retain 1M and give us 2 1st round picks to take it off their hands now if we were still obsessed with having him. What a brutal unforced error.
