But nowadays, my pain threshold is probably higher than most with regard to how these guys are playing.
If I was a 15 year season ticket holder as you are...I might be a little pissed with how things are going. |
Yeah, and that's a very fair comment.
By the way, I am usually very level headed about this stuff, and far more patient than the majority of fans I think.
But there has been something about the way they play this year that has been driving me crazy. When you sit at the Dome each game and watch them fumble pass after pass, you just want to pull your hair out. And I am pretty sure they didn't all suddenly lose all of their hockey skills - it's all in their heads and it's all about the way they are playing.
But it's not that they can't play. Because at times they look like world beaters. And on the road, when they simplify their game and just play, they are great.
But the Dome has been a nightmare this year. And I put a good chunk of the blame on the coaches.
