Haven't got the best memory, but I can't remember being as bored as I have been at the last two games for a long time. I don't know what needs to change, but something to increase the excitement is needed. I'd rather be entertained than win,.......
My feelings exactly. It wasn't the
results in the first few games. With our back-up goalies it was to be expected. But our dire play going forward has been awful. The most potent attacking opportunity should be the power play...but our's is pathetic.
Why when we had a 5 on 3 PP did we dump the puck from our blue line with no one chasing ??
Why when we have a 5 on 3 power play does a defender try to skate' coast to coast', gets dispossessed easily almost leading to a short handed goal. We've got 2 extra skaters for heaven's sake! But we haven't got a clue on how to set up around the opposition's goal. And if our luck's in and we do get 'set up' with puck possession, our players are so static that the defenders can easily block the shooting lanes.
I'm waiting for the time when, in the middle of
our PP, Adams or Francis is going to call a Time Out and ask "Boys - What on earth's going on?"
If there's any response to this, please let it not be......."Don't worry, G and Franny will sort it out !" Our PP has been similar to this for years!!
Finally, thank goodness for Paul Ragan. He may be an astute businessman, he may have serious money......but given the flack he takes, even for the on ice performances from some........he sure has plenty of patience and determination too!
