Our pairings also took awhile to come together last season as well and I think we are missing Kylington big time. If we can find a replacement for Stone I think that could helpful turn things around.
The team spent less time as team defending last season and I think the pairings have a lots to do with it.
Cutting the GA down will increase the scoring and that starts with chasing less in our zone and getting a finisher on the 2nd line.

Yeah I get that, but my point is more so an explanation of what’s going on this season. So for me, I’ve adjusted my expectations. I’m not expecting a 50 win team and that’s fine. As long as this team makes the playoffs and draws the right opponent, they could still win a round.
