I don't think it's for lack of effort and I certainly don't think Monahan and Gaudreau aren't trying because they just got big contracts.
It just seems like they're all thinking too much, and the result is a lack of intensity. Gully better recognize this and get them going and motivated.
I still think it'll come. It's frustrating learning new systems that you have to think about as a player. When it becomes instinctual, the intensity will ramp up. If the season's not lost by then already.
It really does suck to watch though wow.
