That Kolosov goal looked like a concentration error – as though he wasn’t really expecting a shot from there (a lesson he’d have learned better had he played in the AHL but that’s a different topic).

I dont hate a game where they played well but lose due to weak goals allowed by backup goalies who are still trying to find their game. As a sports fan, I despise the idea of deliberately tanking – both from an integrity of the sport POV and from the fact that it creates a losing culture that’s hard to fix. That said, i dont mind “honest” losses like this, which improve the odds of a better fix but where the team plays well.

Don’t hate the Beezer penalty either. In the playoffs, you play smarter. But in the regular season? “Defend your team-mate” is one of the cardinals pillars of the sport, along with spouting cliches after the game and shortened names with y/er at the end as nicknames

Given how the internet generally lost its mind when Torts benched Michkov so he could work on his game, that comment by Tippett about how MM has changed his game is telling and perhaps a reaffirmation that the actual NHL coaches may know a thing or two more about coaching than us fans.

Don’t forget the interference probably they made up against Brink that took away our PP and showed Florida to score 4v4

I haven’t listed the Charlie’s ENTIRE post-game show segment, but I was hoping he would call the FLA game tying goal a HOWLER!
Oof!!!
