Mentally fragile group since the Avalanche put them on a split and turned them over coals for 5 games.
Ward inherited that mess and couldn't fortify them on his own.
Sutter was literally the leadership of the 2004 team. They were never the same when he stepped aside. If that's still the case, then they have a shot of being better at handling adversity.
There really isn't a better coach out there for what they need. Still shocked they went out and did it.

The playoff collapse against Dallas didn’t help their mental fortitude either.
