.. They just completely stopped hockeying and began floating, coasting, daydreaming, etc. Was there a lineup change or a shift realignment or something? Did Tippett manage to change the chemistry of the first ten minutes of the period where the team really took control? Was there a conceptual switch from WIN BY SCORING to WIN BY DEFENDING? I can't figure out why they stalled completely - was it a "strategic" coaching move or a fail on the part of the players? I am baffled by this.

I think (outside of the team drivers, i.e. 97, 29, 18 .. ) they routinely get into a mental comfort zone far too easily, it seems to be a default state for too many, that they need to consciously break out of .. which is not a winning formula for a competitive sport. Suspect that is why those players have such a hard time to get rolling at the start of a game, play dopey vs. lower ranked teams, or lull themselves to sleep for periods during games.. its like a phycological defect. They get down 2 or 3 goals and then the switch gets turned on.. trying to salvage some self respect. usually too late.
See it too many times near the end of games after the Oil have made a big comeback and tied the game.. its almost like some guys are thinking they'll just run out the clock and let 97 & 29 win it in OT, they get dopey and its a loss.
It not all the players.. but too many to get consistent wins.
.. working theory.. :)
