I dunno. Maybe bring up Ferland (not sure how without waiving someone), and rotate Raymond/Stajan/Glencross/Jooris/Granlund/Ferland/whoever depending on who is playing well. We need some kind of boost here. If I knew how to get it I would be the coach.

That's the thing. It is not a lack of urgency that is killing us. We are losing for pretty much the exact same reason we were winning before, just in reverse. We went from unsustainably high goaltending and shooting to unsustainably low goaltending and shooting.
Michael Ferland does not make Hiller and Ramo play better, nor does he improve our scoring rate. And just as people predicted we would eventually stop winning at such a high clip, it is self-evident that we will stop losing every time out as well.
The pendulum swings. That is not unusual for a rebuilding team, even if it is a bit crazy to see the extent to which it is swinging for us.
