I'm going off of Okposo's comments after the loss to the Avs where he said they had a sloppy practice the day before and it bled into the game.
I'm also going off of Connor Sheary saying in the first intermission of the Bruins game that they weren't prepared for the Bruins to come at them so hard after they were blown out the previous day.
There are the comments that have me worried about the "culture" in the room despite Lehner, Kane, and ROR getting moved and people saying that they were the issue in the room.
Let’s be honest. Dahlin is unknown at this point, but none of our leaders are the alpha go thru a wall type to win.
Eichel would rather throw a tantrum and smash a stick, than skate his balls off the whole game and use his speed to actually make shit happen. The next time he drives thru traffic will be the first time.
Reinhart is passive when playing with Eichel and defers too much in general.
Risto, I got no respect for you.
We didn’t get a Toews, Crosby or even Ovechkin.
But all that is ok, because you can still push thru that.
Unless you cater to useless vets, don’t upgrade your team talent and hire moron coaches, who are themselves unsure and limited in their intensity.
Hockey is an intense game that requires savage desire to push and push until the other team breaks. We don’t have anyone who has that in their heart, from top to bottom. Management/ownership may not have liked being called out, but due to hurt feelings they shipped out their second most talented player who actually fought for every inch of the ice, to help the “culture”. What a joke.
