Yeah it only game 2 but game is worth the same 2 point as 82 .Losing is going to happen early season or late season but losing this way is remiscent of last two season . Few guys trying really hard most of the games : Stu, Sanderson, Pinto, Zub, Greig these rarely takes night off.
Tkachuk, Giroux(the guy old veteran,he get free pass), Batherson, Chabot always no consistency in their play and never lead really by exemple in their play since a good time now probably more then half of last season and 2 games in this one.
Norris have the excuse of being injured for 2 seasons and that for sure still not helping the team.
Bottom forwards are guys that are all new (good excuse) and showed effort .
Tkachuk /Chabot is the main leadership of this team and both shows lack of effort /consistency for time to time offensively or defensively both ways . They have to change that asap if they want to play in Spring.
