Browna:
Where is a team 17th in goals going to get those extra goals from to finish teams off?
I feel like you're not being intellectually honest here, to borrow a phrase.
All of the team's best players are exceeding last year's output. Tkachuk is roughly a point per game over his last 30 or so, dougie leads the league in goals from defenders, Monahan is 12th in the league in goals and Gaudreau is 6th in points. Backlund only has 5 less points than this time last year.
Just who is it that the coaches were going to will to score more? Lomberg? Tanner Glass? Troy Brouwer? Garnet Hathway? Travis Hamonic?
The team makeup is woeful.
If the GM says out loud he's concerned about where goals are going to come from, and then the team struggles to score goals, is that the coach's problem? Shouldn't the GM, who acquired 0 goal scoring support save a 45 year old non-training camp has been bear some, if not the vast, vast majority, of the blame for that?
