Rest is history. Point is, composure was needed from the leaders and it wasnt there, especially Doc. Sounds harsh and critical, that's the reality, we never should have lost that game like that.
That's the tough part of the maturing process of an up and coming side. Composure has hurt us a couple of times this year. Knowing how to ice the clock is a part of it. Those type of losses hurt more now than it would've back in the days we were on the bottom, which wasn't long ago.
