Can count on hearing this trope several times a season.
Have a bad homestand? "It'll be nice to get on the road, have some team dinners and build some team chemistry."
Have a bad roadtrip? "It'll be nice to sleep in our own beds, get some rest, and play in front of our fans."
Anything to break the monotony of losing/rough play and refocus on what it takes to win. Last year we were ultra hyped first day of camp and ready to go. Not quite the same this year. Look at Utah, those guys were ready.
It's just human nature, especially in sports, to take the foot off the pedal when things are going well. I think we're a little guilty of coming into camp a bit cocky and some of the boys a little to secure with their situation.
I really want to see Miller elevate his game and get his two way game going. Also, our PP is absolutely pathetic, it's killing us. That last game should have been in the bag. 3 power plays in the third with zero shots. Disgustingly bad.
Looks like the game is on.
