I don't think there is an ego problem. Did that make for inaccurate passing? They had no time and space. It's all about puck possession. Main faceoff people.....Sappy 6 out 18, Picard 9 out of 15, Hall 13 out of 28. If you lose faceoffs and pass the puck not to your teammates......UW needs to return the favor if they get the chance to.
The 2nd period was a train wreck. I don't know if the short change had anything to do with it.
It sucks to lose to a see-ing eye goal, but I think this will ground them in a good way. If you escape with the W, it doesn't really do you much good.
