If anything, all the tight checking games we’re playing right now are probably preparing the team even more so for playoff style hockey. Maybe that’s the real problem in all of this. Huberdeau and Weegar’s career playoff scoring rates look awfully close to their current production this season.
Perhaps the 2 new Florida recruits are too one dimensional and are having a difficult time producing while playing playoff style hockey. FYI, I don’t know if this is true or not as I’ve never seen Huberdeau or Weegar in the playoffs, so this is more me throwing this out there as a possibility.

It's certainly not easy to lead the league in HDCF - especially when by every metric available you are having an incredibly positive impact on the game. It's not Darryl's way - so it's not good enough. That's how he looks at it.
And just remember - they made it just as far as we did in the playoffs against far more difficult opponents. You need your top players to perform - and they are not being afforded that opportunity here and the results speak for themselves.
