Power play
Perimeter shots
Neutral zone turnovers
Rusty players coming off injury
TJ Brodie not at his best

We didn't even play badly overall, but the lack of execution was more than half the reason we didn't come out with points. JJJ was the only line consistently producing. The PP was ineffective and probably cost us points in at least two games. I just didn't see the same killer instinct and confidence offensively that the team was playing with before.

I wish we didn't mess with the lineup going into the trip. It's not that the youth who were returned were difference makers on the scoreboard, but they held their own defensively, and probably brought a competitive energy into the dressing room. There was a notable chemistry and a belief with the team when they were winning. You sub players for other players and sometimes that can throw that balance off.
