I want them to figure it out. I want them to become a great team that puts it all together and just tears this league apart. But I rarely get what I want.

I'm sorry, but I think until this team puts something consistent together...they're going to be criticized. And I think that criticism is valid.

We got the win! But its from turning a 5-2 game into a 6-5 nailbiter.
They're 7-8. Last year they were 8-7.

After that hot 8-7 start last year, the next 19 games were 9-10. 17-17, almost halfway through the season. I'm not especially concerned about it.

Last February with the half-Dome covid crowds, they figured it out and swept a 7-game home stand, all in regulation, where no opponent got more than 2 goals. Sutter's got the talent on this team to get them there again.
