How does a once proud program, that is competitive year in, year out become a 7 lose team and it could easily be 8 or 9 loses. What really went wrong?

Its very simple they lose 95% of the faceoffs, they play D most of the game. They dont get a lot of touches on Offense. They lost one starter this year mid season otherwise they are full strength. They lost four games by 1 goal, are they the powerhouse of the past no but all you dads running your mouths about how great your team is the 1 and 2 seed beat them by 1 goal. Lets see what happens in the playoffs.
