7th time this season we’ve blown a 2+ goal lead….it’s only game 20 of the season.
If I'm not mistaken it was 12-13 over the entire Season last Year.
But its not the Coach and the System that causes this,right?

If we're looking for positives, I think the 3rd line looks lively again, and Pickering has been decent on his debut.
Both on Point.Ponomorev didn't look out of place either.

Sullivan had to put Nieto and Acciari with OC instead of Poulin and Puljujarvi. He just can’t trust younger players. He never rewards young players when they are having a good game. He always defaults to his bottom six defensive forwards.

Maybe Sid can get #600 to be an OT Winner.

Yeah, I think Ponomarev has looked decent too. It's just that he's only had 8:40 of ice time, so it's hard to say too much one way or another.

It's very sad, but at this point I hope they don't win another game until Sullivan is fired.

Why in the world would Pettersson leave the zone there under no pressure?

Because they had nothing and avoided forcing it like the usually do for a turnover and rush that loses the game. That’s always the right idea.

Anything but 2 points tonight is a colossal failure even if you didn’t know they blew a 3-0 lead. And knowing that, 2 in a SO isn’t ideal.

Doesn’t feel like a win. Blowing a 3 goal lead at home against SJ is a joke.

Agreed. Having eek out a win against SJ?
Gee, how can you tell the difference between these 2 pathetic teams? Sad, really sad.
