It’s not like Tkachuk has had this zero-effort level the whole entire season thus far. It just started post Muzzin fiasco. Maybe Tkachuk is upset that he was the only one that was giving his all.

Ok, he has to pull it back a bit, but pick your spots and have something to stand on, that's not the spot and too many of them don't.
I'm clearly not a pro hockey player, but as a human I'd be pretty strongly in "#### these guys" territory.

These are my thoughts as well. But it is all speculation.
Here is what I do know: there is a problem. There appears to be a disconnect between some of the players. Whose fault is that? No idea.
But here's the thing for me: while it isn't Ward's fault that there is a problem, it is happening under Ward's watch. And ultimately, the team is his responsibility. But he has done nothing to help it. Bench Tkachuk. Or bench someone else. Or hash it out. Or take everyone out to get drunk and laugh it off. But FCS, DO SOMETHING!
