FWIW I think that all the pissing and moaning here is a lot too soon. We've had two key players out of the lineup...and I'd argue that's actually three. Tanev and Hubey ... and Ollie. Kylington was a fast transition guy in the back end and I think they miss that considerably. Too often they get trapped and cycled on.
And the inability to finish (how many semi-open nets last night did they miss?) is another key issue.
I'm OK with how they've played the last bit. They've been snakebit and haven't been able to close it out...a couple of dumb penalties (and untimely at the end of games) and some plain crap bounces.
I'm not that worried. Yet.
