The 5 man contributions defensively that we started doing last year is still just gone. Was our entire team defense anchored by Keith? Or are guys just not doing what they should.
Nice that was still have McDrai. Always have a shot no matter how weak defensively we are.

I think our forwards as a group have been VERY weak defensively. On transition and when the other team is set up deep they seem uninterested.
On breakouts there is a lot of bad hockey going on from the group as well. Many times when the team is trapped it is a result of the forwards not doing the right things. If the first pass isn't tape to tape, in stride, as they exit the blue line it tends to right back over to the other team. It seems trendy to blame the D for every D-zone give away but I would estimate that 50% or more are the fault of the forwards.
The defense as a group has not been great this year but overall I think they have been pretty good tonight. This will never be an elite unit but just being average should give the team a shot given your last point.

I think that was the big change last year, the forwards helping more and not always cheating for the exit or a stretch pass. Actually grinding and helping in the D zone and making good plays to get the transition going with numbers. Not sure where that went. I gave Woody the credit for the change, but maybe it was more just a matter of effort that they weren't giving Tippett and the coach change sparked them? I'd like to think better of this team though
