At this point, deserves its own thread.

I get that it’s still early in the season but with zero coaching turnover and a pp unit that essentially swapped Ghost for TDA (who was here the year before), it already looks exactly like it did the previous two seasons. I don’t think we generated one high danger chance last night on our four opportunities. I know on two of them, we didn’t even generate a shot. I would like to believe Svech will come in and fix it but history says otherwise. 

Scoring short handed is not a sustainable counter to our pp being defunct lol. I think it’s a very real chink in our armor.

I think we just get way too focused on trying to create rebounds in front. We need to try to displace some of the bodies in the slot so we can get something cross crease more often. Nearly every chance we do get comes from working in deep, kicking it up the boards, getting it center blue line, back to right circle for a one timer or having them skate it in looking for a dirty rebound. It hasn't worked. 

Teams know what we like to do and force us into it while parking three in front of the net and one in the slot to keep pressure on the blue line/take away the circle to circle pass.

We did score a PP goal against the Sens and that first PP last night did everything BUT score. It was a beauty. However, it is still lacking right now. Give the kings some credit, that is a playoff and cup team we beat. 
 

3 short handed goals in two games is unbelievable though. At least we are scoring so far this year.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
