Forget about everything else. THIS TEAM NEEDS IT'S SPECIAL TEAMS TO PERFORM.
If you lose the special teams battle in a game the chances are extremely high you will lose the game.
We got scored on the PK last night and we couldn't score on the PP = loss.
It's not an exact science but it's not that difficult to figure out. Pointing the finger elsewhere is silly. We are rolling 5v5 and 3v3, our defensive game has come along and even though Smith has come back down to earth he has kept us in most games.
I'll admit Ferland can't have that neutral zone give away but Johnny shouldn't get too much heat for the result of his play. It's a game of mistakes and these things happen but if you don't have special teams that can at least generate momentum instead of destroying it then you are in trouble most nights.
