They turn things around and play incredible … then bad lazy habits start to form , AT doesn’t address because . Hey .. they are still winning.. then they lose , but it’s ok because the effort was still there, and they tried hard …. They were winning up until the last few minutes, but one mistake cost them a goal… then they lose in OT.. but hey we got a point .. it’s ok.
Next thing you know , we lose the ability to pass accurately and shoot and we have a real mess on our hands , and lose 3 in a row ..erasing what we earned after winning 4.
AT , get things turned around… rinse and repeat..
My opinion: AT doesn’t have that high of a standard … he gets them all playing great ..then pulls back .. he needs to be consistent with them and raise the bar, don’t be happy with just a win … if players can’t pass , hold them accountable..
Because when we can pass accurately and shoot, other teams rarely have an answer to defend , because we do it in all zones
One thing I noticed with the Pitts game , is Pitts were older, slower , but they were nailing their passes, making at least 4 in a row ..causing all sorts of havoc …UHC, barely connected at all , leaving us one and done in the O zone , except on the one PP.
I have no doubt that they will turn this around, an$ we will all love thi# team …but good teams are consistent….win 4 lose one , win 4 lose one …. We win 4 , lose 4 etc.
With the injuries on D I think BA did a pretty good job in getting replacements for those. I think our D is pretty good right now, and will get better once Durzi gets back. Still need a big stay at home D that can hit, but our D when healthy, is much better than last year. Our GA is 15th, or GF is 25th. We can't score. Having too many having a down year up front.
Because it's just like this franchise to go on a late-season tear despite not really being in the hunt, in order to give us false hope for the following season.
Because Crouse/Bjustad/Kerfoot all solid on D, Maccelli is not, I think that is why he was benched, if he's not producing, he is a liability.
We have been hampered with Durzi/Marino missing so many games for sure. Sergi is a 2D, Marino is a 3/4D, both not top pairing.
...and yet at this time last year the 'Yotes were at approximately the same standing as this year. No progress! I don't see how you can justify that. 2 35yos, a waiver pick up, and Valimaki and Kolyachonok... GMBA should have improved some of those positions.
