One last nit to pick.  Other teams take advantage of the lack of team toughness (not dropping gloves, but just standing up for themselves/teammates).  Halpern takes a draw in the ‘peg and the opposite center has his stick across Halpern’s shoulders holding him down on the ice -basically sitting on him.  Nothing.  Green takes a knee to the fellas and who does anything about it?  

I know nobody wants to fire this person or trade that person, but this is not a TEAM playing together.  It’s a group of individuals, the occasional pair and rarely a cohesive line.  Juggles is right.  But hey, they’re all in the best shape of their career, right?
