I think there's top-end talent, but then it falls into a lot of, O calls them J-A-G.
Is it J-A-G that you call them?
Just the guys?
That was presented to me.
Yeah, but that's where I think the team is different this year.
In years past, the identity of the team, I think, was quite clear.
They had high-end talent that could win them a game at any moment because it's Marner that does it, it's Matthews that does it, it's Nylander that does it, it's Tavares that does it, it's Riley.
It was deeper.
I look at it this year, and they're a different team.
So outside the injuries, I'd like to see them healthy, but I still think they're adjusting as to, like, hey, we don't... You've talked about it.
Who's the puck transporter missing from Marner bringing up the ice?
Who's your quarterback in the power play?
Who's doing these things?
They still haven't adjusted to... You're only 20 games in, but it's 20 is enough.
There should be that adjustment there, and now you're throwing the injuries and inconsistencies...
and it doesn't look great.
That's why I've been defending the coach.
I'm like, you put any coach on that, it's not looking great until they get healthy, and then you figure out what you've got to do.
Yeah, it's a blanket statement.
I would use the word details.
