People keep saying that and it's a weak excuse. Under the Sutter system and Huska which is a slightly modified version of it Huberdeau has gone from an 80-100 point player to a 40-50 point guy. Kuzmenko can't find the net and he is an excellent offensive talent. Coronato and Zary are great young talents and while Coronato has been going decent Zary is being stifled. This team has not scored more than 3 goals since game 2. Teams with way less talent up front are better than that. The team can't score and he plays guys like Hanley and Bean ahead of Barrie who is no worse than Bean defensively and is one of the best pick moving D men in the past 10 years. The team sits 30th out of 32 teams for 5 on 5 scoring. This roster should be middle of the pack offensively with this lineup. Without Wolf and Vladar giving them top 5 goaltending the team is probably bottom 3 in the league.
This is not a good team lol. 30th for 5 on 5 scoring does not surprise me, the talent just is not there right now.
Great to see the trend continue of refs only calling one team. Don't get me wrong the Flames infractions are penalties, but seems the Stars continue to get away with high-sticking, interference and tripping with no consequence.
