Not sure why this is happening with players who know the system unless adjustments have been made to the system to account for the new players (maybe). Didn't expect Markstrom to allow a questionable goal against per game.
But looking at the underlying stats, I think things will turn around and a lot of what's happening right now is bad luck and the numbers indicate they should probably be better than they have been. I really don't recall any sort of adversity that the team endured last season, so also looking at this current skid as a good thing for the group.

I think we over play "the getting used to the system angle", these are all professionals who have played their entire lives and now because the coach wants them to adjust their play they suddenly are lost out there? Every team has new players every year, shouldn't be an issue or an excuse. don't see 19 having any issues with Florida's system
