This team is frighteningly weak. The second that something in the routine changes, something goes remotely wrong... this team implodes. They won 7 straight on a regular schedule before their really long break... which took them out of their mojo and they haven't won since! They had that goal called back today and they started playing scared and they let in a goal within a minute.

They have no mental toughness. It's like we're playing a team full of Brian Elliotts. And you might see that as a personnel issue -- and there are players who I have issues with -- but there are so many guys out there who are playing SO well and are clearly emotionally invested. Giordano, Brouwer, Tkachuk, Smith (except tonight, obviously), Ferland... and while you have to look at how guys like Monahan and Gaudreau seem to be coasting a little, whose job is it to get these players motivated and ready to play? It's the coaches'! Earlier in the season, it seemed like they were somewhat successful -- Gaudreau and Monahan looked great every night, and it made Gulutzan's shortfalls easier to look past. Now, it looks like they've settled into complacency, and while this is unacceptable on their part, it's gone on for so long that Gulutzan should have fixed this by now.

So get rid of him, and Cameron, and Jerrard. This team needs new leadership, and it needs a give-a-#### mentality. Because right now, they have it -- but only when they're doing REALLY well and they haven't done REALLY well in a game in weeks.
