2 shots on goal 5 minutes in.

2 shots on goal end of period.

Again, we're paying kyrou, thomas, and buch how much? to do what?

You can't get paid this much and do this little. And it's worse than being invisible, it's being given grade A chances and not hitting the net. Snuggy there at the end wasn't much better, but come on. How much longer are we gonna sit on these 3 guys that do nothing for this team?

Seemed like he tried to rifle it versus just somehow getting a stick on it with the empty net.

Why doesn't this team shoot?
Who doesn't want to shoot the puck?
It's a disease with this team. Last season too.

Fugly loss... again!

The problem is that they are all signed long term with NTCs. Choices are limited.

Hard to complain on the Thomas contract despite his frustrations this year but extending Buch was predictably a bad call. Kyrou should’ve been moved when he had huge value.

Hey, for what it's worth, they had about 5 point-blank shot attempts in the last few minutes of the game. Pretty sure not even one was on goal. lol

That Thomas attempted pass to Stenberg sums up your comment perfectly. Your highest paid player is 10 feet out uncovered and doesn’t shoot it.

Thomas is the best of the three, Kyrou too soft and is still pulling up instead of battling and taking the hit to make the play. Buch I'm not sure what to say other than he is far from a top line player right now. The second goal he had the puck right at his feet to try and make a play.

We had so many opportunities in the last four minutes and did not generate one shot that went toward the goal

Outshot 12-2. Another very disappointing outcome.

Sadly, there were two clear examples in this game where Kyrou did that. Disappointing.

He avoids contact on the boards like the plague. I can live with it if he’s scoring a ton and generating offense, but he’s a ghost most nights
