Our defence has collectively been suspect for several games now.
Some thoughts:
-Brodie looks out of sorts, and not just because of a new partner. He often seems to be puck-watching, losing his actual man. Unlike him.
-No more Stone on the PK, unless he wants to use his size down low and clear guys out of the crease.
-Hamilton remains an early season enigma...sometimes signs of brilliance, sometimes panicky passes out of our zone (or up the middle).
-It would be nice if one of our D-men hit the net on the PP
However...
-Kulak looks increasingly confident with each game
-Gio seems fine
-Brodie, Hamilton & Hamonic will eventually find their games
-We (somehow) still have a winning record
Therefore...
This loss stinks because of how easily the game got away on us. But there is good reason to believe they will figure this out—I just hope it’s as soon as next game.
