We spend a lot of time with our puck carrier's back to the goal.

[Trotsky]

Welp.  No excuses left.

[Dafatone]

Teams just pile their defense in front of the net and we can't get anything going.

it's like a marvel of physics that every defense is simultaneously packed in the crease and harassing the carrier and ... yes, Trotsky, nobody ever seems to be facing the goal when someone passes to them.

Damn, Max down again

And now Andreev looks dead.

I remember when this was supposed to be fun.

[ugarte]

andreev was on the ice not moving for an uncomfortably long time. glad to see him up.

[Trotsky]

No joy or energy all night.  We have looked like a beaten dog.

Some bad luck this game with the posts and whiffed shots, but this is a much different team than the one that played in the fall.

We aren't establishing a net front presence / working the puck down low / other cliches. So the puck moves around the outside while our players near the goal aren't involved. Makes things easier on the defense.

Also, we haven't had a legit odd man rush since 2021.

[Trotsky]

I've seen us suck plenty of times.  But other than 93 I've never seen us not care.

If Ben Syer is hoping to be a head coach anywhere, he'll want to burn the tapes from the past month.

[Trotsky]

Time for a break.
