Agree. It's clear that some small changes need to happen. But of course bringing in a whole range of new players or changing the coach is not it at this stage.
One common criticism is not scoring goals. While I agree our powerplay is not where it was with Skalde and Lord, and needs to be looked at quickly, we are only behind Guildford in goal scoring. We score more goals than Sheffield and Belfast on average per game.
As for defence and goal tending, we are 3rd in goals against, conceding only 2.5 goals a game, with 2 goalies playing above. 90%. Crawford is on +11 +/-, as well as the points he gets, so a defensive liability I'm not so sure.
So they're not the makings of the worst Devils team ever. There needs to be some tinkering sure, probably one new addition. I think a big thing they need is some time off to rest, which looking at schedule they're not gonna get. The start of this season still feels similar to me to a lot of season in recent times, I get deja vu every year on the Inferno. Some of those seasons we finished strong and won the league. Some like last year, in the league anyway, we tailed off. No need to hit the panic button, most of these guys have been here before and we must trust them to turn it around.
