I wish you all the bad things in life.
Agree. What concerns me is that the individual players are not bad, and its not like they have forgotten to play.While the team has found ways to win lately which is great. Good teams find ways to win when they arent playing their best. However it is a little frightening watching this teams blue line play and D zone. They aren't a discipline team unfortunately. They play hard, work hard but dont work smart. I hope they can clean it up and get the 2 points Saturday and come home.
The D zone coverage isn't great but I would be as big a problem if we could exit the zone or win 50-50 battles. Even Jake was having zone exit problem yesterday which makes me think its systematic. Lanes were not there. It was very evident live.
We need a couple of affordable, defensively responsible RD's who can win a 50/50 battle to compliment our elite puck movers. This d-corps goes from bottom 10 to top 10 with the addition of a couple non flashy signings and a plan.
