Another preseason tilt, another loss. As has been said for the entirety of preseason, it’s not about the wins and losses right now. This team is still learning Peter Laviolette’s system, and judging by last night, they will be learning it well into October/early November. This beckons back to the 2013-2014 team that had eerily similar expectations, and what looks like will also be a similar preseason record after hiring a new head coach.
The good news is though, there are certainly some players who have bought in and look very good thus far.
