Look at the past champions they don't play this grind it out slow game. As much as Darryl wants to say Tampa changed how they played they remained a top offensive team and goals against remained low. They just added some harder players. Kucherov wasn't paired with Goodrow and Coleman.
Right now we are being out coached by a wide margin. Team isn't ready to start games and I don't care about first period goals. Starting games means the opening faceoff the first few shifts creating momentum and it's just not there.
Faceoffs and important faceoffs are a massive concern as well.

To be fair to Sutter though, he's working with the roster he has. I know this forum has extremely high expectations on the players in the farm that they're gonna perform better than the top 9 players on the roster currently, but that's just not realistic.
Faceoffs and lack of finish being woeful is the responsibility of the person who's assembled the team. The blame for the current mediocracy of the team is on Treliving. There's a significant lack of offensive talent on the roster. He tried to salvage something after his two important players left the team this offseason, but the results so far indicate that it wasn't enough to replace their production, and the team is missing it significantly.
