I do want to give credit to Enstrom for a goal and an assist. And, to be fair, Kozlov had a goal and a helper, too. I know. You’re all stunned that I offered something positive to say about Kozlov. Hey, I wish him well in his post-Atlanta career. I’m appreciative for what he’s done, for the Thrashers, through the years. I still think Kozlov can have a productive hockey career as his 40’s approach.

What can we say about the timeliness of a few of Kane’s goals this year? He’s proving that he belongs in the NHL. Good for him. My concerns about him weren’t “talent related,” but rather, that he had just turned 18 in August, playing in a league full of grown men.

I guess there’s another way to look at that. We ARE a pretty impressive 3rd period team. We pour it on late. Salvaging a point here was pretty good. Otherwise, it’s a 4-point swing to a division rival, whom we’re chasing.

So, 40 shots against. Tapping my fingers on the countertop. It’s a bit of a broken record now. If this team makes the playoffs, and is still giving up 40 shots a game, don’t expect too many wins in the postseason. At what point … do we start to ‘tighten up?’

But hey, that’s 4-1-2 in the last seven, good enough for ten points out of a possible fourteen (10/14). Technically, it’s three-straight losses. But we’re 0-1-2 over that stretch.

That was probably the worst game I’ve seen Kovy play in a long time.
