I didn't see the game last night, so I can't comment on that directly, but reading some of the comments here is quite enlightening.
Firstly there's some criticism of the power play, but according to the eihl website before the weekend it was >30% which is highly impressive. In some of the games I have seen, our puck movement was looking very good. I don't understand this apparent disconnect with people's comments.
Secondly comments on individual players. Comments on valdix have consistently been that he's contributing nothing. O'Connor has consistently been criticised for no look passes and lack of defensive awareness. Before being injured Dupont, although improved of late, was making nothing like the offensive contribution that was expected.
We're now two months into the season and I no longer think the "give them time" excuse holds water. There are simply too many deficiencies in this team. I doubt we'll get rid of anyone, and the rumoured new October recruit seems to have been a pipe dream. The rebuild was always going to be difficult. Yes, we have bright spots among the new recruits (carruth, kozun, Reid, Waller, Cox and sanford) and with our reliable returnees, but this seems like a work in progress.
