I didn’t get to watch the full thing since it was blacked out in my area for ESPN +, but yikes. They blew their lead again and it’s the first game.

I haven’t watched in a couple years, but I’m surprised to see the same things going on. So many changes and still some sloppy play. I can’t tell if the team leaders are complacent or if it’s the coaching. It feel like it’s gotta be the coaching?

Yeah, Sully might be wearing out his welcome. A lot of new players on the roster but same blown leads and flaccid power play. Not sure if Sully is just checked out or if he actually has no idea how to adapt. Our current roster is way slower and older than the teams he won his cups with.

Anyway, it’s just the first game but it’s disheartening to see the exact same issues from the past few years.

Absolutely agreed with this. I was thinking that I’d see a shift with a ton of new players, but I didn’t see it so much.

You’re right, it’s the first game of the season. I just fear that this is just a preview of what to expect.
