I really believe its off the ice distractions that are bogging this team down this season.
I'm not saying it's the only reason nor that every player is distracted or being pulled away from the ice be it mentally/ physically or both.
What I am saying, is that it's happening.
It's happening more than we realize because it's life and for most of them, their lives are changing in significant ways right now.
Chalk it up to the youngest team in the league.
Makes the need for vets in the offseason more glaring.
Couple old grizzled divorcees or lifetime bachelors woulda been nice 😛
Also. TNT is hurt.
Probably dealing with more than we know.
