The fact that he is surprised we aren't scoring as much as he expected worries me. Who was he expecting to turn the tide with this team? We have all been watching the same team over the last two seasons? What did he expect to change? We are in literally the exact same spot in 5 on 5 scoring this season compared to last season. 21st. It's basically the exact same group of players that he assembled, and he was expecting this to not be an issue?
2020/2021:

The outlier 2018/2019 season has been discussed a lot. I understand Brad hoping that the team rediscovers that production, but looking at the seasons around it, it's fairly obvious this team struggles to score 5 on 5.
