When you look at some games this year, you can clearly see this could be a GREAT team. When they all skate and give 110%, they are a Stanley Cup winning type team. I think everyones frustration stems from the team not putting in the effort game in and game out. Its not even the same players night after night, anyone who watches this team has to be able to admit that to themselves. How many goals and grade A chances are given to the other team because of lack of effort? Many. Ive played many team sports through the years and sometimes I would think, "so and so will make the play so I don't have to". Its human to do. But it is the COACH that gets on you to make sure its not a habit. Sometimes it is the COACH that inspires you to play all out. This team is not getting that from GG. Its obvious through the eye test.

Yeah, let's look at that data.
Dougie Hamilton: Before Calgary he had a career high of 42 points. Both seasons here he exceeded that total.
Mike Smith: In the last two years, he's had a GAA of 2.63 & 2.92 and a SV% of .916 & .914. This year he's at 2.67 and .921.
Michael Frolik: Last year he had 44 points which was his highest since 2008-09.
Travis Hamonic has regressed some. (On pace for 2-3 points less than last year) Is that because of coaching or because he's still getting used to a new team and a new city?
Bart, Brouwer, Lazar... none of them were contributing much before coming to Calgary and no one expected them to come in and be difference makers.
Is that the data you're talking about or do you have other data sets somewhere?
