Yes, something has been amiss most of this year. No question.
Some things I have noticed in the Winnipeg round.
On the positive side, the D seem to be activating more then they have since the all star break last season
On the negative side, there were some times where they were dumping it in excessively. That is not a good strategy for this line.
Hopefully they can keep the defensive intensity in their own end that emerged especially in game 4, get a quick transition game going, and play more on the rush, with more controlled zone entries.
That’s what I was getting at, noting they have been off for months. Because it seems they have made some adjustments, hopefully it’s just taking time to stick and get rolling
I hope that giving them a bit of time, we seem them gel more
*And I sure hope they keep Johnny on his off wing on the PP
