We’re 43 games into the season and we continue to talk about the poor defensive zone coverage with the Buffalo Sabres. Yes, for a week or so it looked to be getting better, but now we’re back to where we were for most of the season.
Teams can be bad at defense and let’s not put lipstick on this pig. This particular club struggles defensively. That being said, the mistakes that are being made are hockey 101 level errors. Leaving players alone in front of the net, blind passes up the boards, bad pass up the boards and well just passing in general.
