I think they're very consistent ... but part of that consistency has been a consistent lack of finish and a consistent lack of goaltending.

I have little doubt they will try and reel in Winnipeg ... have my doubts they can up their team shooting and save percentage to break year long trends to do it.
What I mean by lack of killer instinct is the inability to close out a game if they are up by 1 or 2 in the 3rd. I don't have the stats but I feel like they've blown a ton of those leads instead of clamping down and closing out.
