Garbage perimeter play, nothing's changed from last season because the personnel doesn't have what it takes. They can't out strength defenders in the middle of the ice, they can't complete more than 1 crisp pass, they can't fire off any dangerous shots. And all that might be okay if they could defend or if the goalie was all-world Kipperesque, but jury is out on this systems change still and Markstrom's still good for one softie.
