Looking at the highlights in the cold light of day, 4 out of the 5 Panties goals came from our own mistakes in areas we shouldn't be making mistakes. We are over committing guys to situations and you normally only do that when you don't trust your team mates to get the job done. That's leaving players alone with prime scoring chances.
Is it down to the players not being able to play the system? Not wanting to play the system? Or Lord not getting his wants & needs across properly? At the end of the day its the players on the ice that are meant to do the job and if they cant then the coach needs to make the necessary changes.
Bownsy is on a poor run of form and Murdy needs to step up, but therein lies another issue. Does Lord trust him to do a job? He doesn't like playing Rutkiss unless he really really has to.
Id like to see Murdy get a run of games and id also like to see Reddick back on D full time.
