Congratulations to the Clan - playing intense, gritty hockey with a will and determination to win. Our guys were second to everything. Its not even a Jekyll and Hyde performance anymore - it's the same type of performance in every game lately, and they dont appear to learn lessons from previous losses or tight games.
Hard to pinpoint whether it's a confidence issue or a tactics issue. The team do not seem to either be able to execute tactics or concentrate sufficiently to nail regulation wins. Lord has the team to do it - they are just not playing like that at the moment.
If it's a high risk strategy of 'you score 5 and we'll score 6' it will never work if the defensive play is shocking and the forwards are not clinical.
Think I will give the games a rest until after Christmas ...witnessed so many losses recently it's demoralising at this time of year. Will concentrate on my beloved Calgary Flames....at least they are playing fantastic hockey and have the will to win!
