Let's be honest here. Last night's game was rough.
Thinking about the game this morning, I realized that something was different about the postgame interviews that caught me a bit off guard. I began last night's scrum with Coach Laxdal with a rather innocuous question. I noted that everything that went well in the homestand up until last night (goaltending, special teams) didn't come through. It wasn't designed to call out anything in particular and gave Laxdal an opportunity to insert his own opinion on the game, which he usually does.
Immediately, he launched into an answer that impugned the team's effort on the night.
