As for the game last night- there are three things I saw that shouldn't be that hard to fix. First- there were too many mistakes and sloppy passes in the neutral zone and at Toronto's blueline. They led to turnovers and those turnovers led to goals. Second- the forwards and the defense aren't helping each other out. When the Thrashers are playing well the two groups are in sync and the forwards are ready for outlet passes form the defense when they dig the puck out of the corners or out from behind the net. Last night the forwards were waiting for passes instead of putting themselves in positions that made those passes possible. Toronto's forwards parked themselves between our defense and forwards and picked off passes all night long. Third- when you know your opponent gave up 5 goals on 17 shots in their previous game, why would you only put 20 shots on goal? Toronto only had 8 blocked shots, so it's not as if nothing was getting through. League-wide about 9% of shots find the back of the net. You can't expect to score more than 2 goals if you only take 20-25 shots night after night. The Thrashers are 26th in the league in shots per game and 29th in shots against per game. Those two stats are pretty telling at this point.
