Personally I'm starting to wonder if they should scrap the defense first crap and go with last years system and accept the possibility that Halacks playoff performance was a fluke .

Absolutely. We had 7 20+ goal scorers last year, and the only one who's no longer here is Fleishmann. Unacceptable that we're this putrid offensively. It's piss poor overcompensation. Gabby has to be to blame.
