The most disappointing aspect of the last three games, for me, has been lack of work ethic. We're getting beat everywhere on the ice. We're not hustling into the zone, fighting for the puck, reaching to make sure we receive passes, passing when teammates are wide open, or covering correctly on defense. We're spending too much time puck watching. I don't have high expectations from Mahura, because he's subbing. But where is everyone else??? I don't know what happened in the locker room, but my eyes can see that some players are not even attempting to do their job. It feels like we lost a couple of tough games versus great teams and most of the team decided we're losing again this year. Do I think we can turn it around? Yes. I hope we get an attitude adjustment between this game and the Avalanche. Right now we're not getting beaten by other teams - we're beating ourselves.
They are not supporting each other on puck battles along the half walls. Numerous times you see one or maybe two of our guys on the board and the F3 is nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile other teams send the F1 F2 and a Dman on the half wall. With the F3 close for a pass for a breakout or an O zone reset. There are obviously more problems than this but this one is glaring. You look at how Winnipeg plays with their system and man do we need that.
Not especially. If the offer comes along and the Kraken aren't looking like they'll make the playoffs later in the season it might happen, but I don't think Mahura makes it much more likely.
Here's a bright side: I just noticed you got branded merch, so good job with that!
Took a while but yes!

Pain and suffering indeed
I wasn't sure they would get to double digit shots

Absolutely true. The opposing team seems to always have more people around the puck.
I felt like the team was in a good place a week or two ago. Now it's just difficult to watch. Sad to see.
I had an unrelated migraine so I was just listening to the game but I think my migraine got worse.
Do you think Mahura's play makes Borgen a potential trade candidate?

I have a lot to say but none of it’s nice so…🤐 🙄💩
Lol this team sucks
They sure are playing that way right now
Last few have been sloppy and hard to watch 🥲 appreciate your thoughtful game reviews nonetheless
