im mostly concerned about player usage and the short leash for the young players.
I will give him points for getting effort out of the team. Effort is there consistently and pride is obvious.
i understand that to remain competitive with this roster need to play safe and defence first
mostly worried that this is where offence goes to die.
no creativity, no risk, no east west, very boring hockey.
aside from defence first defencemen, i dont really like what i have seen for bringing along players, and that is exactly what team is going to need to do in the rebiggle.
not liking the stiffling any offence and playing not to lose rather than attempting to win. Knew it would be painful losing, but it seems to me the focus is on playing for 0-0 HDCF/A and is hard to watch or get engaged with.
Its more than just not scoring, it is purely the offensive system that stiffles any offence.
will be plenty happy to be wrong, i just dont see this changing and can see it destroying confidence and changing players we draft for skill into grinding defence first players
