The whole year has been like that. The injuries, the listless performances. I haven't seen a year like this before, at least not a year where they were supposed to be good, things like this just keep happening.

In this case, it was literally an ass blocker.

They're not supposed to be good this year. Many predicted a fall back especially after losing Marner and it's happened. No surprise really. Add in all the injuries so far and it's a recipe for disaster.

The good news is, they are five points out of first in the Atlantic.
The bad news is, they are 3 points of last in the Atlantic.

Berube should be fired immediately. We all know 88 was a no show because he was sick and Berube admitted it in his presser so WTF is he even playing and Maccelli sitting in the pressbox? Add in why put him on L2, which essentially killed that line, instead of leaving that line as it was last game? Leave L1, L2, L4 the same and the only sub is McMann, Maccelli with Joshua.
I think that generally people thought that with the goaltending that they had and a return to form of Matthews, along with still having Nylander and Tavares they would still be top 3 in the Atlantic, and pretty much a lock to make the playoffs. I don't think many people expected them to be lifeless through the first 15 games or so.
