That was the consistent mode of operation last season. Someone need to convince Gaudreau/Monahan that it as important to get goals to take the lead as it is to cut into a 3-0 lead.

I think this is an important point. The team so often last year seemed to react to the game unfolding, rather than go out and put their stamp on the game. Not sure if its purely a mental approach or tied to the system, but I think it was clearly a problem. I really want the team to develop more swagger this year.
