At least that’s what the players said at a press conference on Wednesday after team training. They also stressed that the problem does not come from the plan that head coach Dominique Ducharme is proposing to his team.
“Sometimes we look for each other on the ice, but I think we have to go back to our style of play,” said David Savard. We are an efficient verification team. We have the plan, but we must implement it better. Of course we are more fragile right now. It’s up to the senior to be on call and play the right way.”
The day before, after losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins – seventh in a row – Jeff Petrie mentioned that the team lacked structure.
“I don’t know what Jeff said yesterday,” said defender Ben Shearot. After the match, emotions reached a high level and we lost seven times in a row. But, we have a game plan made by Dom and we try to implement it every night.”
