I wouldn't mind seeing the high danger chances for stat for the Hawks that game. I suspect it would have been stupid high, as we were giving up 10 bell opportunities galore in the 1st & 3rd periods.
Tough to win games when you only score one goal over the past two games. Especially given that we seem to give up a minimum or 2-3 goals against each & every game. Do we even have a shutout this year? I can't remember one.

For whatever reason this team seems to gauge early its goaltending and sag because 'down early, loss' is a the narrative that's obviously crept in to their mindset as the prophecy continues to self fulfill.
Starts with the goaltenders sometimes its grade a chances given up in the defensive zone, but it starts there. The rest of the team sees that once again they're in a hole.
The team isn't as bad as their record. Aside from personnel needs that have been identified ad nauseum, they need to try a different voice in the room and behind the bench. When the Hart trophy guys are frankly diminishing and visibly sagging whether they want to or not, I think you do what you can to salvage the season....to me looking at McDavid, that's like beacons and sirens going off. I think the team benefits from a change at HC and possible an assistant, the goaltending coach. The benefits are systemic tweaks and quite frankly a wake up call from a voice or voices that sound different, simple as that.
