I still think they're too easy to play against. Not very big or strong, and the defensive coverage is not very good. The goal tending has been bad this year no doubt. But the team also lacks the finishers to take advantage of their scoring chances they do get. The fact that 12 games in there are 4 spots up front that have not scored a single goal. The 4 th line has zero goals so far, even with a lack of ice time, that's still unacceptable. The team is a mess, they can move the puck at times and make some really nice plays. But ultimately this is a team that will yo-yo between having their point total match their games played, and just below that. Thus far better goaltending maybe gets them two more points thus far.
