Yeah, I know. Talk about a Captain Obvious observation, huh?
There were signs to that effect prior to last night’s 7-1 capitulation to the Stars, on home ice no less. But this latest fiasco poured a fresh layer of Quikrete on the proceedings. Indeed, we were down by a touchdown before the game was 20 minutes old.
Didn’t matter who was stationed in goal. Promising rookie Joel Blomqvist and gritty vet Alex Nedeljkovic both got strafed behind our comically bad, Keystone Kops-ish team defense. Had Ned not made a number of dazzling saves during the final 40 minutes, the Stars may well have scored a second touchdown.
