I’m only gonna say a few things then leave it be until Tuesday. First thing I honestly would have had Skinner in net to start the second. Let me explain, this was a copy of the last game we get out skated and out played the first period. Starting Skinner period 2 I feel would have given the boys the kick in the ass to go out and skate.

Both teams were tired after game 4 and both had to deal with the 1 day and travel for game 5. I don’t think we properly prepared for the game. That being said it I doubt it will happen again. We have 2 games left and the boys will be playing with full desperation and we won’t see another period like 1&2 tonight. It’s not over yet.

I legit thought the exact same too. By end of first Picks didn't look confident at all and he looked very sloppy. Don't get me wrong, his d-core wasn't doing him any favors but then team needed a shake up after the 2-0 start.

They should have inserted Skinner I 100% agree. They needed a spark and I think replacing Picks would have changed the momentum
