Gio back, new stud defense man in Hamilton
new top end winger in Frolik
lots of adjusting to the growth of the young guys
this is a team that just hasnt found their chemistry yet and because they are young, its going to take more time to find that and its going to be more difficult to find.
To think that professional hockey players aren't trying hard enough or need to be bag skated or don't want to do better and if we beat them harder somehow then their performance will improve is ridiculous and unsustainable... and more than a little immature.
I think I put down that they weren't trying hard enough as an option as well but I guess I think one can always try harder somehow - this is a team making mistakes, not a team playing beer league hockey.
Nobody knows what this team will look like when it starts to come around and we dont know if they will have enough to overcome the hole they are digging for themselves - but its going to turn around

They aren't that young. The core and the supporting cast is full of guys in the 30s. The players struggling the most right now, outside of Hamilton are the veterans.
