I’m not even that mad. Tree gambled in the summer and it didn’t pay off yet (and who knows it might not turn out). This league is built on impact players who score goals. We don’t have any of those right now. Huby looked like a good acquisition, and even if he finds his game, we still don’t have any snipers to put the puck in the net.
This isn’t 04 where you could grind out wins. Also doesn’t help that there is no Kipper saving the day with heroic saves. Markstrom is playing very poor hockey at the moment and I don’t think you’ll see much of a rebound from him. Might be time to ride with Vladar and see how that plays out.
At the end of the day it doesn’t look like this team was built properly. Our advantage at the D position isn’t as advertised and upfront we have too many bottom 6 players expected to contribute and light the lamp. Throw in some questionable coaching decisions and this is where we’re at. Of course there is still time to turn this around but the hole keeps on getting deeper.
