This team really needs to get a top 4 D somehow. This D core has no one who can move the puck at all minus Forsling. Ekblad gives the team a -2 move the puck rating.

We won the Cup so this post doesn’t mean much. But the drive and hunger just ain’t there right now. I mean you guys might be right in that they are trying to conserve energy and might flip the switch later in the season. But it’s tough to watch them play at 50 percent capacity.

Since coming back from Finland, they had one game where they looked like the defending champs, and have otherwise looked like the worst team in the league.

There is a clear lack of offensive ability on the back end and that's a surprisingly massive hole left my Montour. Did not expect the impact to be felt this much but it's clear that puck movement is not as smooth from the D group and the lack of speed doesn't give the forwards as much freedom either.

Tonight is what it looks like when your D core isn't what it was last season. It may look like the offense is struggling but it's a symptom of a bigger issue.
