Team is missing that X factor, and confidence, and it’s mainly for playing ahead
First handful of games, they had it. They’ve lost it, in various ways, and they don’t have leads to be comfortable with and waiting for mistakes as opposed to waiting for chances.
They’ve played well enough on the trip and in the losses before the trip but are missing the game breaker who is going to take charge, or line that is going to take control.
Last year so many times it was the timely goal, full of chemistry, from the first line, that put the team at ease that they could score if needed, and,had the opponent chasing…this year we don’t have that breakthrough this year yet and the team is playing scared to lose.
