Mentality. This team proved last year they are talented and are capable of scoring. I HATE to say coaching because the players need to show up. But there seems to be an extreme lack of accountability. Not saying youw ant a guy like Torts, but you need a coach who has been there and knows what it takes to get there. Donny doesnt seem to be doing that

They built a young fast team, unfortunately there's No Identity. And they built a Coaching staff as Green as that young Roster with No experience to get them out of this Hole they have dug. And the Overall there Leadership sucks on this Team. Only 6 players stayed or where made available after the game last night. And one Tuch couldn't Talk cause he took a puck to the Face. Where's the accountability Adams screams about.

Theories
1. team is young, some players had career years last year, KA didn't do much to improve the team, NHL has a book on some of our players
2. you can't have a nice coach and a nice captain someone in leadership has to have an edge.
3. I don't like this one- they are trying to get the coach fired
