The thing is, once a team gets mired in a massive losing streak like this, it's almost impossible to really turn it around without a major change.
Someone needs to figure out how to fix this, and soon.
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.
Here’s the the thing: this team has one good dman, and he’s Recovering from surgery.
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.

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

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.
