you wrote this over a week ago and yet still havent got the nuts to write it?

I'll break down the season in the coming days and try to put a finger on some of the areas they struggled in. There's obvious disappointment around the hockey club as the team hold their exit meetings and prepare to disband for the year.

The nuts? Ok "Anonymous". Good one.

I think the General Manager talked about a lot of those areas in our interview.

But, since your asking.

1)didn't get the saves early in the season.
2) undisciplined play combined with a penalty kill that wasn't getting it done.
3) No ability to win the "big game" and carry momentum
4) play against the BC division was horrendous 10-20-1-2
5 )injuries in Jan/Feb
