I was at the game last night.
Phenomenal start, then leveled off. Still probably deserved a better fate, but again we were out-goaltended. Skinner again finishes below .900, and his gaffe on the second goal was costly. He was a lot better than his first couple appearances this season, but that's not saying a lot. He still wasn't matching what the guy in the far net was doing.
Kane was pretty bad again, AND threw shade in the intermission about his playing time. When he decided to fight we were up in the game, and he didn't exactly take out one of their stars. Not sure what the point of that was, other than that he was frustrated, so decided to randomly drop the gloves. I really don't like the comment though - that's pretty selfish, especially since he hasn't contributed a whole lot. Kane has a decent contract and a skillset that GMs covet. If I'm the GM, I'm including him in a whole lot of conversations right now.
I do wish we had a little more depth. If McDavid is out for any length of time, I don't know who steps up to help fill the gap. Our second line last night included Foegele - the world's worst breakaway guy and some guy who never seems to do anything of use in Janmark. Adding Erne to the lineup isn't going to make us very scary...
