Well even if I'd remembered it, 1 goal leads are going to lose sometimes, it's just the nature of the game. I mean last night's game against the shitbirds from shitzburgh, they had a 1 goal lead with 13 seconds left - and that was after already blowing 2 of the 3 goal lead.You forgot the most egregious where they had a 1-0 lead on the Isles with less than 2 minutes left and lost 2-1 in regulation.
It’s hard to figure what’s wrong. When they were doing this a couple years ago under Larsen, you could see then turtling in the 3rd. Their entire style changed — they made zero attempt to do anything other than clear the zone and make a change. I don’t see that as much under Evason. They still seem to be trying to play their game and get the breakouts going, it just isn’t working.
At some point, it’s just a mental block or something. It’s not like the opponent just magically decides to try harder and the Jackets decide to quit. I think they need a team psychologist more than anything else.
Just win the multi-goal games and they are easily in the playoffs. It's gotta be a mental thing at this point. It also means that things should even out at some point.
