When a game is on the line, this team finds a way to lose. The goaltending has been excellent, outside of the Boston game the defense has held, and I'm not holding Isiah George responcible for being outmuscled on one play, he's also played very well. Cholowski has largely been solid with Hutton. The problems begin with the powerplay, and penalty killing both ranked 31st, and the same players who are too slow to react, backcheck, win pucks in corners, get sticks in lanes. And we are talking Cizikas, Pageau, Engvall, MacLean (who got his first vs Washington) and Dobson who is a ghost of the player he was a year ago (his shots found net/sticks every game) but now none of his shots find sticks or the net, and keeps making huge mistakes.
Same problems/same players
