The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.

The bottom six is losing us games. We're actually lucky it's so few this far.

That's an excellent question - maybe this is actually even strength not 5v5? I'm pretty sure the 4v4 goal against the Kings is the only goal scored when none of the big 3 were on the ice.

Actually. I'm forgetting our D have scored some goals. I imagine the 1 was a goal by Nurse or Bear.

I didn't remember any goals from the defence without the big guys, so I dug in to it.

Six goals from defence so far:

Bear had 2 - 1st assisted by Nugent-Hopkins, 2nd assisted by Draisaitl
Klefbom has 1 - assisted by Nugent-Hopkins
Manning has 1 - assisted by McDavid
Nurse had 2 - 1st might be the one with only assist to Jurco. 2nd was assisted by Draisaitl

The Nurse goal against Los Angeles must be it. That's the one where Jurco made the nice little move on the defender and sent it across to him.

Another element to consider:

WheatNOil @WheatNOil The Sh% will certainly rebound but man they could be helping themselves out a bit more by getting some shots on net from closer than Sherwood Park.

We saw this at play yesterday. I was at the game and we were commenting on the bottom guys just ringing the boards in the opposing zone. There was one shift in particular where the puck did the circumference of the attacking zone twice, before being given away. No one was even looking to put it on net.

I remember one sequence like that which ended with a Gagner penalty. At least 2 times the puck went around the boards, passed tto left D, Left D to right D, ring around the boards again, back to LD, full circle again, and then Gagner high stick someone as he tries to pass back to the LD again. Sigh....

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
