I stopped watching after McDavid's first goal, and dont think I can bring myself to go back and watch the "highlights". Especially since they are going to feature a lot of Kane. Having to watch Hyman go off last week was bad enough.
Here's what is frustrating me : last season, there were more than a few "tough losses" where it felt like the team was busting their asses and flying around but were a notch behind in overall talent. That's tolerable. Hell, I actually kind of LIKE that. Speed and hard work is fun hockey to watch.
This year it feels like the system is borked, schemes like the powerplay or the forecheck look disorganized and chaotic, and up and down the roster a couple players will randomly make "wtf"-tier mental mistakes that make you really scratch your head.
Some of that stuff...the system/scheme and the mental mistakes...would seem to land squarely on coaching and I'm not super confident that Hak is the guy to sort it out.
