Little concerning that this team is only good at home. Is the roster good, or is it just how weird it is to play in our arena? I'm sure I'm overreacting because the center injuries have been killer but it's a little strange that two years in row now we struggle this much on the road
Team D and goal tending was much better at home, it has been bad on the road, that is part of it. The other part is us being down 2 centers is a hole we can't cover on D. I think teams are getting their systems in place so they make less mistakes and play a tighter game 20+ game into the season. After a 5 game win streak we aren't sneaking up an anyone now, they aren't taken the night off against us, its the opposite.
The good news is that we have some correctable mistakes on D, and with some of the turnovers, our coach of the year candidate can remedy. Let's see bear fix this and see if we can manage the puck better next few games, play better D, etc...
