opponent will either be Flames or Canucks

need to focus in 3rd round robin match up on getting our game back on track

plenty of forwards have been pretty unnoticeable thru 2 games

d mostly has looked ok

Binnington has been solid

we can't keep a lead against Vegas

across the board though just not sharp. a lot of passes into skates.

irt the defense - there have been numerous times where the D is standing still in their own zone while the forwards are changing/waiting beyond center ice - again. A known issue which Berube has corrected in the past. It takes the D not being stationary and the forwards actually skating back to help sometimes. Other than Parayko and Pietrangelo, the D has been pretty passive in the offensive zone, as well, which is out of character for when this team is playing it's system.

Shocked to see so many bottom seeds advance, but that's what can happen in short series when teams are mostly healthy.
