First off , the team's lines were very unbalanced, we really miss a top center on the team. I thought gainey did not utilize Ryder and higgins nearly enough.

Ribs line was somewhat ineffective, though showed some signs of life. Kovy needs to make better decisions out there.

Defense was somewhat lethargic. Especially markov. He was just somewhere else tonite. Huet played great, but not enough Defensive effort in front of him. Carolina Just showed in the third they were willing to push the limit and fight in the trenches.

I am really sorry to say that I think the Koivu Injury has burst our bubble.

I hope iam wrong!
