The coaching definitely isn't exempt, but ultimately it's your players on the ice that keep the puck out of your own net, and put it into the other. And right now the players that are suppose to be carrying the team are contributing goals against rather than goals for. Just how they perform on the power play alone...they've had their Halloween costumes on this whole time because whatever that thing is, is giving me the jitters.
Sorry, but tired of reading this. A team, any team, in any sport, profession, industry, needs someone at the helm to guide them to success and make sure everyone is pulling in the same direction. That's why coaches exist. Sure if 1 or 2 guys were off you could point to their performance. When the entire team shows a complete lack of cohesion and looks confused its not the players. Its not like all these guys suddenly forgot how to play hockey.

Unless you believe this core just isn't that good...then you should be pointing your finger at the GM.
