I don't know what the solution is, but what they're doing now just isn't working.

And then half the time the wingers aren't even on the half boards or get out hussled/muscled/whatever to the puck. Then there's the powerplay breakout drop pass every time with a slow motion attempt at a zone entry. Frustrating to watch. On the positive side, Johnny looking slightly better and Monahan's shooting. Back to the negative, what the heck is wrong with Lindholm?
