So in my previous post I mentioned my realignment from a blues fan, to a thrashers fan. And being a Thrashers fan I have watched the first few games of the season and I can see there is one glaring problem... defense. This team looks terrible on defense. The first game they were completely out hussled and out played. Last night again bad matchups and no pickups. No real team work on defense. Maybe they should watch the movie the miracle to inspire them, but what I'm afraid we have here might be a team with a lot of stars that don't have cohesion.
Granted, I'll give them the Senators are one of the premier teams in the NHL. But this team right now is not working well together and either some trades need to be made to get some guys who can be the glue that holds it together, I think Ktachuk did a great job of that last year when he came over from the blues, he's a real good player to have in the locker room. Or the coaching needs to step up.
