Reading Russell's assessment of the D, I'd say we are *********.
No doubt the D is a problem. But there is something much bigger than that going on. These players can't execute the most basic of plays right now.
probably going thru the motions that bad teams in all professional sports go thru then, they are trying but they know they are going nowhere and surrender mentally after a time.

Really, what I'm seeing is something that is not supposed to happen under "The System". It's a collection of individual players on the ice, each trying to just make anything happen and panicking, instead of a team.

True. And as they have talked about on the broadcast tonight, the forwards won't shoot. Confidence is non-exististent.

here's a very clear lesson on developing players in the minors.
stone and Hoffman both spent considerable time in the minors.
lazar, Cowan, Ceci were all rushed into the line up.
Im in no rush to see chabot. Let him develop the right way.

That's a problem.
Chabot better be a good one and soon, Methot was a good one and they let him go then to protect dreck like Ceci Claesson Wideman etc. If u are right Russell this is one huge cluster*****
Claessen is ....ok. chabot is not ready. Phaneuf and oduya are old and slow. Ceci is not improving. Harper is not ready.
And that's your d.
Cluster***** then

I don't know how they could have any enthusiasm playing for this guy now, heck I have no enthusiasm to watch this anymore and all I got to do is plant myself on a couch

Sounds like pretty soon Boucher is going to be having team meditation sessions instead of practices.

Pierre McGuire comes on every morning in Ottawa and at least 2 times a week he talks about Boucher's biggest weakness is not bringing on young players.
