After two straight losses to open the season, Colorado Eagles head coach Greg Cronin finds fault in the teams lack of discipline and inability to move the puck across the neutral zone.
The group finished the weekend with 50 penalty minutes in two games and frequently turned the puck over at crucial moments. While the combined 9,938 fans at the Budweiser Event Center voiced their disappointment with the officiating, the young group had little self-control and forced their penalty kill unit to find a new level.
“Cherry pick which ones are good calls or bad calls but you can’t take penalties,” Cronin said following Saturday’s loss.
