You consider the team position in the standings, and wonder why there's so much doubt and heistance on the team's potential and ability to make the playoffs, and then you see what has occured over the past 5 games, especially the last two games, and see why so many people have such doubt this coaching staff.
This team lacks resiliency, composure, and killer instinct. Mentally, this team is fragile, and that comes from the coaching staff.
The next game against the Lightning is very important. It could ethier restore confidence in this group, be the tailspin that marks the beginning of the end to the season. February is a very tough month.
