Tough loss once again. Very tough. Though it didn't feel as bad as I thought it would. It felt like; whatever, I'm used to this.
I remember feeling like that in the late 90's when everything was just loss after loss. Even with all the firepower we had and all the big names up front.
I would actually never have guessed we'd be this deep in it with a new coach. Even if I and many others knew it would take time to adjust for both players and coaches. On one hand I'm still kinda in shock that we're playing worse than we ever did under AV, but on the other hand, even without the injuries, our squad has guys that just don't fit together like they should. On paper they do, but have close to zero click or connection on the ice. The only ones that have that is the twins and Burrows (obviously haven't had that now). Where does Kesler fit? Who has he got? No one. Booth has no-one, Hansen alone, Higgins alone (even if he still gets the job done), Kassian?
We need to get combos that work. And it don't seem to be happening with these guys...
