Kind of a similar situation to when Brent took over the team from Keenan. It was a painful adjustment for a team full of players used to freelancing having to adapt to a more defensively responsible game. As ugly as the hockey has been you just have to hope in the coming months that things come together and the players can play responsibly with enough confidence to stil be creative on offense. Right now they just aren't creating enough scoring chances and it was reflected in the amount of penalties they drew on this road trip as if you drive to the net good things happen whether it be scoring or drawing penalties. All we can do is hope that better things are on the horizon as this has been the least entertaining season since pre-Darryl Sutter Flames and my hope is that this unwatchable hockey leads to something better or this will be a wasted season.
