I am not expecting much but with this team, who freaking knows what will happen.
You'd think Koskinen is seeing his NHL career and any chance of a new contract next year with someone disappearing before his eyes and that would motivate him to buckle down, play how you can and stop the bone headed mental stakes that are crippling him and the team but he hasn't yet.
You'd think McD, Leon, Nurse, Barrie, (they seem to be the ones that do it the most), Nuge when he is healthy, and whoever else does all the media, who get asked the same questions over and over and over again about compete, being harder to play against, cutting down on goals, etc, etc would be sick and tired of it and do something about it on the ice. They keep saying "we have to be better" blah, blah, blah. Well go out and do it. Show you care. Go do something different. If as a team isn't competing enough or aren't hard to play against. Go out there first shift and finish your check. It would go along way if a McD or Leon went out there first shift, set the tempo and finished a check. I get it, that's "not their job" well if they did it which isn't the norm for them, it would send the message to the rest that this is how we have play now on. I am going to do it now, what's your excuse ...... whoever else.
Whatever they are doing is not working and hasn't for a long time. Time to do things differently, time to get out of the comfort zone, time to do what you keep saying needs to get done. It needs to start from the first shift from who ever is on the ice first and filter down.
Will they do it, who knows.
