I think the fall into the bad habits a bit from last year of going to the boards to try and cycle it around.
Chucky and the Backlund are good along the boards, Huberdeau isn't they need to find the open ice down the middle.

I guess I'm just looking at how many guys they have that can score this season. Quite a few. Maybe no 50 goal scorers, but could have lots in that 10-20 range, if not more. Look at the 3rd period of last game - Backlund with that wide open net on the PK. Coleman's penalty shot. Multiple PPs. One of those has to go in. Looks like a team that's going to have to be opportunistic when they get their chances this year. If they are, could be a good season. But I like a lot of other stuff. Hope to see more of it tonight.
