Bad teams do this alot. I remember the Blues of years back used to play this way. Solid pressure but still lots of losses.
We have a team of second line players. It is what it is.

Yeah but to me the single most encouraging sign of the first 6 games is the effort level. It's been there every game even if the execution hasn't. That tells me the coach is doing a good job and maybe the horses just aren't there. This team really needs a guy like Iginla to go on a tear as much as Glencross and Hudler have played well you can't count on players like this to take you to the playoffs on their backs.
