Team has too many muckers and grinders, not enough skilled finishers. We outshoot teams constantly, we’re top 10 in shots, top 5 in corsi and generate considerably more scoring chances than our opponents and yet, we’re one of the lowest scoring teams in the playoff race.
We often make backups look like Vezina Trophy candidates. Luckily we have 1 player who’s generating enough points to be in the Art Ross race, but he ultimately skews the numbers.
Not sure why management is so in love with their plugs and actively seeking them, but if we miss the playoffs, these guys can definitely start evaluating their staff on what exactly made them so excited in acquiring guys like Brouwer, Lazar and etc.
I’m sure prospects like Hunter Smith and Keegan Kanzig are ready to step in and help us become the offensive juggernauts they hoped we could be.
