Schmaltz being 0 for the season is concerning. Especially as first line guy.
Feels like a lot of the losses were from losing focus for 5 minutes and never coming back from it. The shots on goal are terrible. Instead of being physical and contending in the defensive side we are trying to make up with penalties. Offense looks tired from the first minute.
