This is 100% on those guys in that room...including the coaching staff to a degree.
Mentally fragile/disengaged, whatever you want to call it, but it on te players to either be team together or not.
We keep hearing "what a great bunch of guys and how wonderful the room is"....what a load of crap. If that was true they simply wouldn't come out game after game after game unready to play for each other.....from the 1st line to the backup goaltender its all we have seen.
Yeah...people claiming its the "system" are delusional. This is no simpler than a bunch of guys that are just far to comfortable with losing because it's "hard" to play the way they should be.
Identity/culture/country club atmosphere....all of that stuff is established and maintained by the guys who pull that jersey over their heads daily.
Time for major changes is upon them even if the GM is unable to do much til the offseason.
They, and many fans, have been looking everywhere at everyone for who to blame. The answer is in the collective mirror and if they are unable to stand that critique they will fail miserably and many will be playing or looking for employment elsewhere come July.
Good.
