See those two guys in the picture above? Is it fair to ask them to play better? Unfortunately I think that’s what it is going to come down to. Your stars have to lead and your role players need to not make mistakes. The 1st unit powerplay has to find a way to score a goal or two today. The defense has to be able to move the puck up the ice faster. Defensive coverage has to be better in their own end. The third line has to do .....something.
I try not to get too worked up over this team.
