Totally agree that the discipline is an issue, I dont think Lyle is the best goalie in the league, but he has spent a lot of time on the PK. Where I disagree is about the refereeing...not that it isnt really horrible, it is, but everyone is suffering it not just us, so it should balance out.
I think it is too easy to blame Lyle too though, I dont think he is the best goalie in the league, but I still like our decision to have him in net, he may link the odd cheap goal, but he is a winner, almost everywhere he has gone he has got trophies, 2 of the last year in this league.
I believe we have used the flexibility and the extra Import that Stevie allows us well, by creating a 3rd line that can include Adams and Michel. Remember, replace Stevie and you most likely lose one of these.
last year we had a top import goalie, a very tight defence, but no goals up front, now we are scoring goals from all over the ice but we are leaking goals too.
But..... So far this year we have also had hardly any training time and hardly any games at full strength. When we have the full team out there, the goal production should be even higher, the goals against should go down and we should have a very exciting brand of Hockey.
So, weak links on the ice. I dont think we have any.
