Zero compete/heart from a lot of players for the most part. They all knew what a big deal this game was for the fans and to show up like this is disgraceful

It was bad, but I've seen a lot worse out of this team. What were you expecting at this point? This team is literally the dead horse that you pretty much can't beat anymore.
I feel bad that fans bought seasons tickets under the guise that this would be better simply because it was going to be a more positive environment. We all saw how the players coach worked just 3 seasons ago with many of these guys and should not be surprised that the players coach isn't working again. Sutter quite honestly should be applauded for polishing this turd into a near playoff team last year.
Even when this losing streak ends, the ceiling is going to be catastrophically low in terms of entertainment value and compete. You just don't go from sucking to this level out of the gate to world beaters in this league, but we can all certainly expect the team to get it together enough to finish 10th or 11th in the conference if for no other reason than the management and ownership will keep enough part together instead of purging the assets that make sense.
