I think these types of games show the inexperience of Ward. I think we need a coach who is experienced in dealing with matchups and more or less a playoff mindset where you should have a game plan to beat a certain team. And I'm not confident in Ward's ability to do that this year. It also feels like Lucic has some friendships in Edmonton and just doesn't show up against them. He doesn't do much the other games but at least he has a presence, but against Edmonton, he is just flat out invisible.
