This is a Heartless, Soulless Team

[LGB73]

The players who make up the core of this team are all betas. They need a couple of alphas to inspire them. Thomas has never shot enough to be a #1 center. Buch and Kyrou used to score enough to hide it but if your starting center can't score your doomed. Now his wingers arent scoring and the whole line is non-existent. That has a trickle down effect.

It's one of the reasons Thomas-Kyrou are not good linemates. We can win with them but they both need the other 2 on their line to be guys who have skill but also the will to relentless pursue and battle for the puck because the two of them won't. Think Perron/ROR/young Schenn type players. We should be hoping Holloway and Neighbours fill two of those roles but you need two more and one has to be a C. Until the top two lines have the skill to score and can also battle for the puck the team is going to be lacking.

Its the NHL. Both teams have pride. They do have heart and soul. It sucks to lose.
They seem to be closer than we think imo. Winning starts today.
