Losing two to start the season to the Oil is tough. That said there are many things I'll forgive thus far from the team. Won't be popular around here, but I'm going to need a lot more games before I rip the new coach or the system. One of the biggest changes a team can undertake, it might take a little time.
To be honest, the three things that are bugging me the most:
1. Invisible Johnny. Might be getting magnified by the fact that the other guys star player was a difference maker, but really frustrating he's been a complete non factor. Regardless of results, in these games, McDavid us just a complete other level to Gaudreau and I'm ok with that. But Gaudreau needs to be way way better then he has been.
2. Shaky Elliott. Very very disappointing. 2 games in and I'm already going hoping Johnson will be battling him out of our net.
3. Goo and Brodie looked horrid. Gio esoecially. If this is what we can expect from Gio, we are going to be regretting that extension much sooner than even the most sinical would have imagined.
