I wonder if part of the problem is with the advanced stats becoming more prevalent in the game itself if it is being coached to the players properly. Instead of just going out and doing what they know best their heads are filled with these numbers and it's affecting the way they play the game on an instinctual level. Just listening to Monahans post game interview it sounds like he's thinking more about where he shoots the puck more than shooting the puck itself and let natural ability and instinct take its course.

Could be the constant second guessing we see the players make. I mean if you're thinking about how the stats tell you to play hockey instead of playing the game the way that got you there, you're going to cost yourself that split second to make that pass or shot. I don't know. Just something I've been thinking about for a while now .

There's no way this should be where we are right now given the top end talent that is on this team.
