You can pick on a few guys, but generally the whole team is a mess. Goaltender on out including PP and PK. How can this not be viewed as a fail by coaching staff?
And here is why the assurance of "it takes time to adjust to new system" is garbage:
If they knew this would be this tough, then they either should....
1) start with a super simple defensive system (off the glass and chip it in) and make changes gradually through first 25 games or
2) if they have so much conviction in "the system", then stick with the changes. Ride out the Brodie on LD and separated from Gio experiment. They didn't have the brass ones to stick it out for even a 2nd game! Terrible leadership to quit on that idea that quickly.
