The pucks have just been bouncing the other way.
Plus the secondary scoring dried up, the top line cooled off a little bit, and Hutton has been pretty ‘meh’ the last 20 games after starting well.
They aren’t as good as the team that won 10 in a row, but they aren’t as bad as the team that’s gone 6-12 in the last bunch of games and got blown out by the Oilers. There’s a playoff team in there, I just don’t think Housley is the coach to get them there.

Hire McLellan and watch him coach them into the POs, while Hitch just misses in Edmonton. LOLs.
