I would say Drai has never back checked well and his offensive talent has largely masked his inability on the defensive side. Over the years I have seen far too much laziness on his behalf on the defensive side. I would have benched him after that (though you can’t hurt a stars feelins anymore supposedly) first one. That’s embarrassing at peewees. Unacceptable at the professional level to be that unaware when on the ice.


To the bolded part, why can't you? It seemed to kinda spark Dallas after Lites ripped Benn and Seguin. Though it's not like they have lit the world on fire, they did climb into a playoff spot. And, I mean, our Owner hides in the attic while his nostalgic puppets run the show.

But we've been hearing for awhile now that it's "the players" that have to play better in Edmonton. As recent as this weekend, we heard Hitch saying that the players play better on the road and that the players have to play better at home, that at practice they work and they seem to have it figured out but once butts are in the seats and the lights are on it's as though a switch is flipped and the players forget how to play hockey. It's the management culture in Edmonton, to defer blame. They just haven't singled out players in the media ala Stars Owner Lites.

They (the OEG) just haven't singled out any specific player.
Even with Chia's shortcomings, we were fed "it's on the players to play better" because it's difficult to make a deal to help your team as "other teams aren't there to help you". And with Bob's presser he reiterated that it's on the players to play better.
