But they're just not.
You don't have an issue with a team not following their coach when they routinely outplay the opposition.
They are on their way in my mind. I honestly think they are a game or a week away from a stretch (something like 7-2-1) that will put this whole discussion to rest.

It's a results based league. These are pros so competing is expected and outplaying opposition while not getting the results is still not getting the expected results. This isn't kids soccer when they leave 0's on the scoreboard to hide the final result and pat each other on the back for effort. The team is currently out of the playoffs and another loss to the Sharks tonight and this team will almost be relegated to permanent bubble status for the remainder of the season seeing that 3rd in the division will be a tall task. We all mocked McTavish years back for saying the Oilers were visually better but it seems many are willing to resort to the same to back up a coach that isn't getting it done. Results are all that matter.
