This is why I think there's a coaching issue. The team plays different with a lead, they seem to sit back and try to hold it instead of continuing to push and generate offense since the break. Maybe I'm seeing something that's not there, but that's the eye test to me.FWIW, the problem is they stopped generating offense. The second period was shaky at times but they played tight D in the 3rd.
Matches a story I was told in my NHLN days about Zdeno Chara when he first came up with the Islanders. Chara was a bit apprehensive about getting a fighting major, so I presume this referred to his first, which came against Randy McKay, in his second-ever NHL game. Chara goes, paraphrased, "Hey, I don't really want to go, but my coach would really like it if you did! So would you please go?" The implication was that Chara wasn't sure he was going to stay at that level so he wanted to find a way to stick out in a good way. But once it was on, it was on. As we were treated to for several years, Chara could obviously flip that switch like a light as necessary.My D partner for years was an AHL/IHL vet from the maritimes who asserted that the one ingredient that separated the sufficiently-talented minor leaguer from his NHL counterpart, was simple cruelty. If you were on that bubble, you had to be bone mean, or find it somewhere in you.

Is there a way to separate possession numbers to the game score?
