They know that we don't have lethal scoring threats. Our guys play a system that's more team-oriented than one that allows for instinctive creativity. Which is what it is but when it's not on like now it appears easier for the opposition to clamp down and let our guys tire themselves out knowing a mistake will be made, and since our goalies sometimes see like 1 shot a period it's easier to fool the netminder. Then our guys get negative body energy and the opposition starts making our guys frustrated, sometimes into taking stupid penalties.
Right now, I'm not impressed with this team. We've got way too many guys MIA on offense, the blue-line isn't the strong-suit it was, the goaltending hasn't been good.
