One of the biggest reported issues all year with this team has been a lack of heart and resilience. Poor starts, poor adjustments, and tragic collapses when the heat is on. That to me speaks of poor leadership at some level...whether on the ice or behind the bench. But the reality is, that you could have Alan Turing running the numbers and still get it wrong because it's a bad fit.
Yeah, you may have to look deeper to find the answers. But instead of looking with your brain, at some point you have to look with your gut too. Because this team is giving everyone indigestion.

Agree completely.
And I've said that repeatedly.
If they have a leadership issue the coach will likely have to go because it's too expensive and/or ineffective to either acquire leaders with skill or leaders that have lost it and have to play on the fourth line.
