Its mostly mental things holding us back... sid and geno look fine when engaged but obviously are taking a back seat a lot this year.... A lot of guys are having bad puck luck and gripping the stick hard right now... the goals will come.... then they press less and aren't irresponsible defensively...
Its a dam that will break, but we may need a nudge or two to get there
Sid doesn't want to shoot the puck until it's already behind the goalie atm. He's getting some looks, he's controlling the puck along the boards, but you can see the second he has space he's gliding and looking for passes instead of attacking the net and using his shot. He's playing like Phil without the shot instead of like Sid. Geno is also looking pass, pass, pass but at least he's attacking the net. Those two need to lead from the front, make short passes, cut to the net, look to shoot. The same thing on the PP. The other stuff will open up after that.
