Whoa... what a load... I thought this is a TEAM effort yet you seem to highlight part of the tEAm... I will quote you
""when you have defense men that back off the puck when it is three feet infront of them, I think that that shows a complete lack of confidence. When defense men continually make mistakes and cost the team goals and the coaches do nothing but put the same guy or guys back on the ice, there is some sort of break down""
How do figure this is the only area of concern when this team is supposed to work as a unit. Lets look at the whole team unit... the defenseman is not going to take a chance you say because the forwards do not come back and support them. Again blame the defensemen because when he commits to attack and gets burn't... so where are the forwards in LaLa land. Another way you can blame the defensemen is when they pass the puck up to the forwards on a break out the forwards are standing still or if their flying by skating so fast that they can't even pick up a pass...why continually do we see the forwards take a pass from a defensman and it bounces off the stick then the forward either has to chase it or it goes to the opposition... then again the opposition just get to the red line and dump it in... wow is this novel or what!!! there we can blame the defensemen for not getting it out again...lets go with this a little further... why when a forward pickup the pass from a defenceman does he ALLWAYS have to try to do it himself and wiggle ..twist ...turn between the red line and the blue of the opposition side... what wrong with firing it down deep....instead the FORWARDS LOOSE THE PUCK AND THE OPPOSITION CROSS THE RED LINE AND FIRE IT DEEP!!....but we can allways blame the defensmen for the lack of teamwork. Forwards continually make mistakes and are still sent out. Just count how many face off we have won. Your criticism is totally hippocritical.
It seems to me you have pick on only the defensmen...yet the defensmen will pass the puck to the forwards deep in the oppositions zone but the forwards when a defenseman is open do not pass to the point but try to shoot from a sharp angle. The other part of the team is the goalies and you seem to leave these guys out of the TEAM. Against Estevan there were at least two if not three goals that were the goalie and only the goalies responsibility.

Bottom line this is supposed to be a team effort with forwards, defensemen, and goalies getting the glory when goals are scored. Fans are supporting the team but you certainly are NOT by your obvious bias. The Mils want to win more than you or I ... there is not a player that goes out to LOOSE a game.!
