WORST LEAD IN HOCKEY?

Let's hope the takeaway from last night's El Foldo Grande on the pond in Anaheim is one of lesson learned rather than a habit formed.

Getting outshot 23-4, and outscored 4-0 over the final 25 minutes of play without having to kill any penalties doesn't reflect well on all involved - young players, veteran players, leaders, followers, and coaches included.

Systemic? Not likely. Prior to surrendering 2-1 and 3-1 second intermission leads in the last two games they had won 10 of 11 when leading a game entering the 3rd period.

Embarrassing? Absolutely! That bus ride back to the hotel was quieter than a mime convention.
