But people are allowed to be frustrated and are allowed to point the finger at what they believe the cause is.

Agree 100% but said fans should also realise that those that don't agree with them aren't "bought" or "yes men" or "company men" as was suggested.
I wouldn't even say it's not coaching, I think there have been mistakes which I'd expect from a younger coach getting his second kick at the cat with a new group.
But I really see execution of the team's top players as paramount in this team's problems right now.
Gaudreau is a great example. 95% of what makes Gaudreau "Johnny Hockey" is the innate ability to create which isn't coached at all. I don't think Dave Cameron is taking him aside and telling him how to button hook away from traffic or mix up his edges through the neutral zone to fool defensemen. The guy is coaching on a break out, positioning in his own zone, and who to pick up on the back check.
Coughing the puck up, not using his teammates, turning it over with bobbles on his stick is 100% on the player and he'd be the first to tell you that.
