I just don't know how to explain CGY going down 6-0 and shots and 1-0. From the puck drop I saw players hesitating in their end with puck on their stick and just not pulling the trigger to hit a guy in the middle of the ice (perhaps out of picture frame there was no where to go).
The puck movement is too slow. There aren't any pucks at the net early and therefore no rebounds to go get. The team does not create the requisite energy or momentum early yet opponents routinely get 5,6 shots before CGY gets one.
Their play is not really instinctual. There isn't an aggressive drive where they just get it to the opponent crease for a dirty goal or drive. They need to figure out how to get their puck movement faster, get clean, fast exits.
