Just goes to show how fragile this team is that they crumble due to a few injuries.
Yeah you would hope they would've looked a little bit better without those two, but those are two pretty key players for the team. A lot of teams will have it hard if they lose their best defensive center and their best defensive defenseman.

Yawn.

Good chance we lose this which means a 5 game losing streak and a 4-6 record through 10. So while we may look better offensively at times, there really isn't any improvement in team play. I know your schtick is to be the contrarian but this is currently a mediocre team trending towards being plain awful, and the fact that this is despite acquiring Giroux and Debrincat and having Sanderson on D is really disappointing.

Not contrarian. I just prefer to take a step back and stay objective, trying to not get too wrapped up emotionally when we're on a losing or winning streak.

Fact is, our metrics are pretty solid, considering the quality of competition we played in the first 10 games. Our next 10 are against much weaker competition. If we're still under .500 at game 20, I'll start to worry.

You can still win a game or two. The two teams on the Florida trip were missing their Norris calbre d-men, Washington’s injury situation is worse than ours and they’re still putting up a fight. Don’t get me started on Boston.

Zaitsev is definitely playing too much, but we'd be down 3-1 regardless of how much ice time he has. The team does not look confident at all defensively.

Our metrics lose games. Get out the Should Have Won Meter again.

Ottawa isn't even close to Tampa or Florida. Washington has 1 more win and have played 2 more games. Relax.
