It's driving me crazy. 0-2-1 and every game has been close... you know how you win a close game? You don't take stupid penalties!
I agree that the penalty on Callahan was preposterous but in the words of my cousin, "boarding, hooking, too many men on the ice, these are penalties that are going to bring you down." It does all make sense though, with two key defensive cogs out of the lineup things are bound to get desperate here and there, but you just can't give away power play opportunities over and over again because there is a chance you might get beat on a play.
Still however, I am not upset with the team really, a lot of things look really good and we got our first glimpse of some serious Richards > Gaborik magic. Also much like in life, there is the greatest benefit to making some big mistakes early on, so you can be smarter for the rest of it. Lets hope we start seeing some of that wisdom start manifesting itself when we go see the Canucks on Tuesday night at 10.
