Can we get off of the rollercoaster?
Why can't this squad have lower highs and higher lows? It's almost always a team that looks like they couldn't win a game to save their life, or a team that cannot be stopped. Right now, I don't care as much about the wins and losses as I do about the absolutely neutered offense. It seems like this has been building for a few years as well.
Hyman, Nuge and Arvidsson all with zero points to start the season. Bouch looks like he forgot that he's playing in the NHL and has regressed to OHL-level hockey; can't get shots through and when he does he's continually missing the net. And defense? What's defense?
Even McDavid and Drai look cooked; just no real desire to get into the dirty areas and put it in. Just a bunch of perimeter play and this desire to have every goal be some sort of highlight for the ages.
Just put the damn puck on the net, get into the dirty areas and get a plugger's goal or five. Get back to the damn basics and bear down on your chances.
This iteration of the Oil is always so frustrating to watch. High, low, high, low.... lowwwwww, highhhhhhhhhh... never just a neutral effort.
