First of all, it's five games. Nothing is wrong with them that can actually be ascertained. You can ask "why did they lose that game" in respect of a particular game, but it's far too early to talk about some systemic problem with this year's team, unless you're extrapolating from last year.
Same goes for a team like Anaheim - if they'd gone through this stretch in early February, no one would even notice, but people are now asking "what's wrong with the Ducks". Um, nothing, this sort of stretch happens to good teams every year and you're only noticing because it's happening early.
All of that being said... turns out TJ Brodie is like, super important, you guys.
