Defense Feels the Weight of an Offense That Scored 3 Points in 30 Minutes

The defense held Edmonton to 22 points, yet the offense managed a paltry 3 points in the second half before a desperation tie with 101 seconds left. Jefferson's claim that "we could have made one or two more plays on defence" ignores that the defense was forced into a walk-off scenario because the offense went dormant, breeding resentment between units that will test the locker room's cohesion.
