The worst thing you can do as players are getting used to a new system, a new coach, and new teammates is to mix everything up constantly. Put the lines together you think will work best and keep them together. This is about being comfortable on the ice, and the more you switch up d partners and wingers, the harder it is to get comfortable and have any flow.

If a guy is legitimately underperforming, bench him, but other than that, do nothing and let them build some team chemistry.

Far too many overreaction threads lately. Every team is going to go through a 1-3-1 stretch at some point this year. It just looks worse when you start that way against teams you expect to beat.

TL/DR: This team just needs time. They're not going to win a cup this year, but they're a helluva lot better than this.

This. Give it at least a month
