This team has been mentally weak for many years now. They have some decent skill but they're not an elite skilled team at all. For me this team, this core group, is a consistently inconsistent mentally weak team, especially when they face adversity. They will have games or even days or weeks of good games, but they just are too weak between the ears to sustain any real long stretches of play. Kinda sad that that's their identity.
I'll still cheer for them to do well, but I just know this team isn't really going anywhere with this roster. Just keep hoping they do well enough to make the playoffs and the have their star goalie stand on his head for a few weeks to make a playoff run. He's the only way this team will have playoff success at all.
