It's been a rough go of it as of late.
Questionable lineup choices, inconsistent goaltending, and no defensive structure to speak of.
All of that said, we've seen this team be better. We KNOW they can be better.
Going into this year, we knew with this roster it wasn't necessarily going to be a smooth year.
It's time to start the turnaround. And Spidey's just the one to do it.
