I don't blame Gaudreau. Yes, I don't like the whining. But three facts lead me to placing the blame on the new coach:

1. Gaudreau was all world last season, and at the allstar tournament to start this season, he clearly looked like one of the best players in the world.

2. Our co-mvp from last season, Brodie, is also nowhere near the level he was last season.

3. Monahan has also taken a massive step back.

The team can't be good with these three players all struggling. The two best players on the team last season, and our first line center are all bad and can't seem to play GG's system effectively. So GG needs to find a new system that works for them. But he won't.

Even Crosby couldn't overcome the wet blanket that a bad coach with a bad system represents to a hockey team. And these guys aren't Crosby.
