O Consistency, where art thou?
Let's look back a week or so. A 4-1 record, the top offense in the league, solid defensively. The going was good. Fast forward to now. Three game losing streak, shut out twice, mounting injuries, porous defensively. A team in trouble.
Not helping matters was what looked like a win in one of the matches against archrival South Calgary, only to be yanked away due to a technical glitch. Talk about a kick in the groin.
What's happening? Well for one, Theodore has given a glimpse of what life with him in nets will be like in RHL17... but it shouldn't be happening now.
Two: Cammalleri and King are two of the leaders on offense. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see support players producing. But they can't be depended upon. Case in point- both are now injured for extended periods.
The question becomes what about the stars? Smyth and Arnott, the two highest paid forwards: 2g each in 8 games. Not good enough. Conroy: 0g 4a and a -4. Not good enough. Bell: 1a. Not good enough.
Consistency... every team's dream. Sigh...

Trust me CB, this is a short term effect - no doubt the law of averages will swing your way and you will be back on track to running away with the divisional title. Not sure what happened in our back-to-back series, other than Jean's tech problems, but that sure seems to have shocked your team for the worse, and mine for the better...

And this theme of consistency seems to have plagued the Eagles as they've moved forward. The GF/GA evening out if a little troublesome to this outsider.
