In last nights game, zero powerplay stats and half the shots on goal against the opposition would suggest there are concerns at the front end as well. Literally, in every area, the Steelers were better.
No criticism of Bownsey at all, he has been terrific this year. It is a shame, though, that the perception often is that it should fall to the goalie to make or break a game. No team deliberately loses games but this is where clutch players rise to the occassion and hopefully try to execute a change in game plan.
Unless, of course, our Guys are more beat up than we realise.....or are conserving/ focusing on tonight's big one.
