I don’t think it’s time to panic, but I would tell Bussi to get on the first flight out, email Tuukka about a PTO and ask Jim Montgomery if he has a game plan for Florida other than “let’s get outshot 50-1 then figure things out from there.”
The Bennett goal was an abbbsolute travesty, and there is no minimizing its impact. However, it’s really hard to feel like a team constantly mustering less than five shots in a period, can’t sustain squat, can’t get out of its own end, isn’t right where it belongs.
