It's only been a third of the season. Lots of time to figure it out.
But watch them and you'll see
- Stationary stick handling around the offensive-end boards and sideboards (forwards) and on the offensive blueline (defense)
- Skating with puck too long instead quicker passing to an open teammate
- Slow transitions from defense to offense
- Lack of short quick passes
- Defense don't activate and forwards don't move into positions to allow defense to activate
- Lack of tape to tape passes and lots of dump-ins
That's the primary reason they're not generating high quality chances. Once they start playing better/faster as a team, they'll be better.
