Bottom 2 lines look almost nothing like they did to start the season: crickets
One of the lowest scoring teams in the league last year and added no scoring: fans think contender.
This team was so good at scoring goals they gifted a middle six roster spot to a 45 year old. Signed Tanner Glass off a PTO (Because hey, beats playing Lomberg).
Explain to me how this is a good team again? I really don't see it.
Treliving honeymoon over. Selling all your draft picks to scrape into 11th place is not a winning strategy.
Just imagine this season with a Gaudreau, Monahan or Tkachuk injury.
This is an embarrassing roster.

Let me beat this dead horse one more time. I will give you the roster holes for argument's sake.
This still does not excuse the terribly designed system. This team went D heavy. So, given your lack of forwards and abundance of skill on D, you would think our offense would be designed to reflect those strengths and weaknesses... no? Fast transitions, D leading/supporting the attack, etc. That's what we are doing, right? A coach that cannot adapt to the tools he is given is not a good coach. GG must have spent his formative years watching the Soviet national team and the Red Wings in their heyday. That 5 man unit thing was great. Someone should tell GG he has Brouwer instead of Datsyuk....
