Its not rocket appliances
I know this is a rebuild and losses are to be expected. What I don't get is why our system has changed so much since earlier in the season.
Our defensive style of play is brutal. Guys look like they are thinking way too much and the closest guy to the puck isn't allowed to get it. Numerous times I have seen the potential for some quick pressure on a puck but that player backs off and waits for "the designated" guy to go in which frees up time and space for the other team.
D backing in... early in the season we were standing guys up as they entered the zone. We now back right into our goalies lap which has allowed the other teams to slow down and wait for support. If we are going to have 2 guys low in the O zone then we cant allow rushes against to slow down and find trailers.
Perhaps I am frustrated from the last 5 or so games and what appears to be a different team. Am I nit picking at the things mentioned above or is it blatantly obvious to other CPers
