Giving up 3rd period leads...
This is really starting to chap my ass. While I won't complain about getting 4 out of 6 points on the backend of a gruelling road trip, I will sound off on our lack of ability to close out a game. On consecutive nights, Our 3rd period demons came out in full force and we couldn't capitalize and leave with wins, instead we let the opportunity go to waste and end up in overtime. We've signed guys to to the roster to help being shorthanded, we've proven we can score with the guys that we have on the current roster, so I don't understand why it is that we cannot close out a game. We are the worst team in the CHL in the third period, and it really shows on the ice. It's like we completely lose heart and quit playing. It is completely unacceptable. I don't know what needs to change to turn it around, but we eventually need to start taking advantage of all the opportunities presented us, especially in the third, if we want to make the playoffs, not to mention make any kind of run at a championship...We are at least showing signs of life recently which is a good thing. I will always take an OT loss or shootout loss over a regulation loss, but losses in general are really starting to get old.....
