It won't ever happen sadly but I think when McD and Leon make as bad of a defensively play and show as little give a crap defensively that they did on that 1st goal, Woody should get some balls and sit them for a shift. Let's be real here, you can't bench those 2 for a period. But a shift. You can survive them missing a shift or 2 but the message would be MASSIVE.

I somewhat agree with this... I know Leon and McDavid are hands off with fans, and can do no wrong.... but they do commit a ton of bad defensive plays and are extremely sloppy.... They are unbelievable offensively, so they obviously get a pass.... but if this team can't figure it out defensively we won't go anywhere far... Hence why Colorado swept us, and hence why we are barely in a playoff spot as we speak.... A good offense just won't cut it anymor ein this league... You need good play from both ends of the stick, and we just aren't getting that.... There is absolutely no way we should have lost last night with how good Skinner was, but low and behold we find a way to lose.

I think everything about how this team plays makes sense if everything organized around the theory "If McDavid and Drai don't do all the scoring, we will never win". That means all the depth guys are just here to kill some time while McDrai catch their breath, and when McDrai are out there, they should just gamble all night and try to score as much as possible to cancel out how useless everyone else is.
We actually got away from that for half a year last season. Seemed like a minor miracle and we were turning a corner, but here we are again, and it's like Tippett, Hitchcock or McLellan never left. Every coach seems to end up playing this lineup the same way. And we're back to punishing young guys for any mistake and giving vets an infinitely long leash no matter how bad they play.
It's all pretty disappointing. I guess just gotta hope something changes through the year.
