An "I told you so" 5 games into the season
I wouldn't expect any better from you.
Well, things playing out to how one predicted is a bit of an I told you so, so sure you got him there.
Why make excuses though? New players, new coach, new system....same team, players playing roles they aren't suited to.
I'm not going to sit here and excuse this team for playing the way they did. They were running around, giving up time and space all over the rink last night.
We lost to a good team, just as we did on Saturday.
You had to have known the "blind optimism" of a team that beat two Alberta teams and got to sit on an unbeaten record for a week was not realistically what we had in this team.
The tests are starting, and the team isn't up to the task. Reminds me of winning 9 in a row last december and then looking at the schedule after, we crumbled then when we were tasked with playing good teams.
