I think the deal lately is that the goaltending has got in to the teams head. They score lots and possession is good. Also if anyone wants to give the decision making of this defense a pass, go right ahead but you will be missing lots.
That said, hutch has not been good and its been a drain on the team. Freddy can bail out all your terrible decisions that come back the other way from offense because of bad decision of getting caught cheating. Hutch hasn’t except for a couple games. He scares me and kooks terrible in net as soon as the pressure came. You could see him panic. He needs to calm down and remember his positioning and stop running in to posts and stuff lmao.
The decision this defense makes and forwards make without the puck is bad as a team. Why has it continued, its both system and players fault.
Way to many decision by all players that are not defensively adequate for good team defense. They are all over the place and show up by all players.
The forwards have improved defensively i believe, the defense has regressed. We need defense.
