It looks like the puck is bouncing around a lot. It's slowing them down because they have to keep taking time to settle it down before making a pass or else it's completely off the mark.
Really the thing that will make a difference to me is their ability to win some back to back games. They couldn't string two wins together at all last year minus the streak...
Yet they've managed two in a row right off the bat. That's a good sign. The next thing will be making it happen again after suffering a loss.
I expressed similar sentiment. But things are probably more complicated than Housley simply being bad all on his own.
That said, I think it's possible that he was terrible and probably worse than even Bylsma.
