Results aren't too bad, but our schedule has been very easy. Twice as many home games than road games. Of the 12 games, we've really only faced 2 very good teams (Boston and New Jersey).
Factor in FOUR blown leads of 2 goals or more already, some dubious use of the team's personnel (huge leashes for DD/Cole, Eller not getting more minutes despite playing well, Subban on the 3rd pair, etc) and it's easy to understand some of the criticism.
