Blaming the coach is the easy out any time the players decide to mail it in, not to say Ward is fantastic, but over my many years on CP I've seen the 'coach is the problem' more times than I can remember.
Just gotta hope somehow, someway the players decide to put in a consistent effort game in game out, but I doubt it. This core just isn't cut out that way. Just hope they can put in enough effort to win more games than they lose and entertain us, but they sure aren't winning a championship anytime soon. Just gotta ride it out and hope next offseason there actually will be a big shake up. Finally.

Player leadership counts too, as you have mentioned.
It is paramount.
When is the last time a team won the Stanley Cup with questionable player leadership?
Never. Not one player...multiple players.
Who are those guys on the Flames?
Coaches are important...high end driven players win Cups!
