Biggest issue is the defence.

Schultz X 2, Ference, Smid, Belov, and Petry is not a good d-corps.

They have no top pairing d-men, and on good teams their defense are all 4/5/6 guys at best.

Then consider that their offensive players are not committed in their own zone, and you have the issue.

Look at Belov's defensive effort, and how Schultz decided it was a good time to pinch when RNH is getting harrassed at the blueline.
