shitposting aside i really think our issues are our bottom 6 scoring and just consistent scoring in general.
Not playing our super tough defense/playoff hockey is one thing in the regular season, but all this terrible passing/no quality chances/shooting wide right has been something all season. We have games where it all clicks and its like watching an unstoppable juggernaut, then theres stretches where we cant get anything going.
This kinda goes beyond injuries and i really cant tell what it is. I thought Tank would help with that and he showed flashes vs the flames (but everyone has been scoring tons against them), but in 5 games thats been it. Hate to keep talkin about carolina but their two new additions are already fitting in and putting up numbers, even duke with tampa. Was hoping after the break wed see some improvement, but to get shutout at home, by not even their best goalie is something.
Even in the playoffs last year our scoring was never really potent, just eventually capitalizing off mistakes of the other team while Bob would stop 50 shots.
Not saying this team is a dumpster fire or anything, we did have an incredible heater and were bound to drop off, but its just annoying to see issues at the start of the season still linger, just hopefully get it ironed out before playoffs.
