This article sums things up nicely about how bad that was last night:

I watched the first period last night, that's all I could muster.
Just absolutely defeated. To a man. The body language. It was like watching a group of POWs shuffle around a compound unable to look up from the sh!t stained ground.
Stopped watching after 2 and prayed for a quick death.
Question for the analytics folks: we must be near the bottom in all the key possession stats eh? Because other than when we win a faceoff (today that seemed infrequent) and momentarily have the puck, we never have it. So much panic, so little support for that panic, so many giveaways, so many little battles lost, so many 50-50 pucks lost, so little possession.
It's grim.
