It's crazy how a team built by a GM who covets character, determination and hardworkers over any other trait...
as well as a team that is at least 50% built with players who's scouting report talks about how they give it their all every shift (Mangiapane, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Dube, Bennett, Backlund, Giordano, Hamonic, Andersson, Rittich)...
the same players that were known as the "cardio kids" and "comeback kids" for their refusal to not give up when trailing in the third period and led the NHL in third period comebacks...
have somehow suddenly lost all ability to show that they care.
Either the coaching is flat out putrid (which it is), we've somehow gotten the wrong mix of character to mess with the "gamer" in the players that care (possible) or the players just randomly decided to shut off their motor this season for no reason in particular (hmm... that's a hard sell)
