I know some of these have been tough to write up recently. Thanks for putting in the work early on a Saturday.
u/ZachCavSports I’ve been wondering to ask, and this has been a reoccurring theme for almost an entire decade but why is this team struggling so much to connect on passes? We’ve seen a lot of fumbling pucks, passes not being crisp and not on the tape. For a highly talented young team, connecting on simple pases shouldn’t be a worry so what is keeping this team from playing a more connected game than they should be at this point in their own evolution?
Without no 91 being superman often this is a lottery team.
