Speculation: What Went Wrong?

[shelbysdad]

Not sure of the cause of it but the mental errors.

Bad decisions all over, from passes, clears, bad penalties away from the play, line changes, over passing , not shooting when they have a chance... looking for perfect play.

Overthinking and not being instinctive. They play like they are mentally exhausted.

situation is 75% upper management. Sweeney continually gets a free pass on poor drafting, middling UFA signings, and poor player development. If you really look at our team Swayman, Lohrei (meh) and Beecher are the only drafted players from Sweeney ( not counting 2015 since he took the job in may 2015) still on the roster.

That is horrid, unacceptable, and a fireable offense in its own right. His only saving grace was the aging core of Bergy, krejci, etc that kept this team afloat for so long.

That and they actually believe Marchand is a Captain. I understand the thought process, but making our only agitator player have to now play by the rules/ be a respected captain after years of debauchery is just insulting to us as fans.
