100%. Big changes should have been made that off-season with those players who failed to shows up put in the chopping block. Career season by pretty much all the core players would have garnered big returns.
Instead, the GM gives them all 'another chance' (sounds familiar?) and it's been downhill ever since. Where were all the lessons learned the team carried over from getting bounced by the Avs? Where were all the lessons learned getting bounced by Dallas? Hell, where were all the lessons learned when they were the cardiac kids and consistently made epic 3rd period comebacks? Shouldn't that be a skillset you remember to do? The players kept tell us year after year that they learned lesson, grew up, gained experienced, etc. But seems there's never anything to show for it.
This is the most unclutch group of players and franchise I've ever seen. It's gross how unclutch they are. Never showing up when a big game matters. Never acquiring that big franchise changing player to put them over the top. Very rarely getting that big goal at a desperate time in the game when the season is on the line. But they put up good press conferences I guess
.
Just a gross collection of players with no chemistry. I feel bad for the owners because they did right getting Sutter to join. But even he didn't sign up for this. I've been one of the biggest BT supporters since he joined. But it pains me to say, his time is up. Hopefully the owners do right and are already in talks with the NYR bunch that got let go.
