Francis: Tire Fire
https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...ame-tire-fire/
- Season has become a tire fire
- Smith injury beginning of the end
- not just goaltending
- major character issues
- leadership issues
- coaching issues
- goaltending masking the problems on the team
- Not a shot at Giordano and Hamonic
- Team just disappeared
- Sense of urgency and leadership
- Lack of leadership and buy-in from the young guys
- Young guys just want to get their points but don't hate to lose
- Defensive lapses - guys not playing the game at both ends
- Gaudreau and Monahan not the guys to lead the team, not guys that will do anything and everything to win
- Tkachuk the next leader and captain
- Lack of pure leaders on the team
