The Colorado Raptors weak spot is in the depth of its defensive unit and goaltending, exacerbated by tactics that just aren’t working. The team has very promising rookies that are rapidly developing at these positions, but for the time being the team is struggling by letting up way too many goals. While not uncommon for rookies to struggle, the amount the team is struggling is beyond belief. It’s not fair to blame rookies coming into the league and doing their best to make an impact, sometimes things just don’t go your way and get bad puck luck. Colorado players have some of the worst PDO’s in the entire league and team management is doing everything in their power to try strategies that make up for roster weaknesses. The only strategy is to keep staying the course and keeping morale high with the improving rookies. Team management is certainly taking a hard look at strategies and testing what works in an alternate universe, unfortunately these results don’t seem to carry over into the real world as the nature of time and space is a mystery to us all.
