The biggest issue I have especially when people say it's early and not to worry is that it's actually not early this is a 3 year continuation of the same thing.
Evey one gets caught up in in the bubble, but we weren't going to make the playoffs that season without the stoppage. The team has been inconsistent ever since the bubble. Even the bubble strategy was to maybe capitalize on our goaltending and Powerplay.
So for myself watching the exact same thing over and over with different players is why I do think something needs to change
