Yes, except what I'm seeing is a team that is playing scared and tentative, not a team that has no idea what the heck it's doing. That is the observation I'm contending - that it is an execution issue, not a systems issue. It's not likely that a roster and coaching lineup that had very little turnover in the offseason completely forgot where the Xs and Os are supposed to go, which is the impression that some people have been left with after viewing the games.
This team has looked absolutely dominant at even strength at times even throughout this cold blah streak. But no one wants to shoot, and it's clear that they're overdoing it. We're seeing shots go wide, over the net, into Brouwer's ass... Scorp mentioned us having the 2nd worst shooting% in the league. This is telling me that everyone's just playing like they'll magically fall into a pit of spikes the moment something goes wrong in the o-zone.
