There's a lot of hockey left to play but with all the talent this team has their play is frustrating. If they don't figure it out soon they'll have to make a run of epic proportions to make the playoffs.
We are dropping games in bunches, and we are playing a lot of them on 1 and two nights rest. Not ideal.
I don't disagree about them hiring their stride later in the season. I just don't see reason to be optimistic they can put a run together at this point. The next 4 to 5 games will likely define how the rest of this season will go IMO.As long as they continue to play like they did in the second and third this team will be fine. Once this team finally hits its stride they will easily make the playoffs. I’d rather them figure it out in February or March than peak too early like they have the past two years.
