Last year already seems like a distant sweet dream. How can a team that played so well last year, be such absolute garbage this year. Almost 0 of the Roster was turned over, and all of the additions in the off-season were solid.
I just do not get it, but a few stray observations:
- Gio is not the same player. It may be the injury or a bad slump, but he has been awful in most games. Bobbling the puck, not tying up sticks or missing his guy. Been ugly stuff.
-JG is trying to do everything by himself. What sucks is that teams know he is the major offensive driver. They clog him up and tune in on him. There is no balanced scoring from other members.
-Goaltending. Nothing to be said. Bad goals/Bad rebounds/no consistency/ can't make a big save when the team needs it. etc tec.
The list goes on and on. Too many passengers, bad penalties, bad PK, bad PP, face-offs below average.
The only positives this season for me so far is Brodie, JG and Bennett. Just cannot understand how a team that looked so fantastic last year is so so brutal now.
