The point of discussion is the focus (or lack thereof) on defence.
It may be that the players just aren’t good enough to play solid D, but I believe there’s more to it. It’s about playing defensively as a 5-man unit.
I think the main problem with this team is defensive structure. The D-man aren’t so strong which is why structure is even more important. It doesn’t appear there is a good structure is place for the players to defend.
What’s the solution to this?
Obviously better D-man but more so I think it’s the coaching staff. I hope next season the coaching staff is fully replaced with defensive minded coaches. Our forward group is strong enough to produce on their own.
This team can be so much better than what they show if their focus was on defence. This is obvious but let’s see if management does something about it.
