I have never in my life witnessed a team so inept at playing with the puck. Absolutely terrible tonight. They have been playing bad for a while now. All momentum they gained from Hartley's system is gone.
This teams weakness at center is being completely exposed. It's hard to be a puck possession team when you start every shift trying to get the puck back, and frankly this team doesn't look interested in doing the little things to get the puck back. God forbid they do have the puck. I can not believe how many of this teams passes get intercepted, and it feels like the passes that don't the players just can't handle and cough the puck up anyway.
I wonder if some how we can blame this all on Brent Sutter. He was such an easy scapegoat.
