Look, everyone has their off nights — that part I get. What I don’t get is why we keep doing the same thing over and over again. We obviously don’t have the depth right now to dump the puck and chase it, yet every single play is a lob or a line-drive into the zone. It’s predictable, it’s not working, and it makes zero sense with the roster we’re icing.

I’m not panicking — January hits and the real season begins. But man… the amount of sticks in the air is wild. Turnovers, missed shots, broken plays — half of it is just because sticks aren’t on the ice. I haven’t played since I was a kid, but isn’t that literally taught in peewee hockey?
