I haven't watched lately, but are the Lightning really in trouble, or just come down to earth a bit from an unexpectedly hot start?

I think Boucher should look at rehauling his coaching staff. Ever since Wayne had to leave this team hasn't been the same.

Lol firing Boucher that'll fix her right up for sure yes siree
http://www2.tbo.com/sports/lightnin...ings-trade-for-desjardins-sensible-ar-636607/Head coach Guy Boucher has one more year remaining on his deal (he signed a four-year contract when he was hired) while assistants Dan LaCroix and Martin Raymond are in the final year of their deals.
If we're going to criticize Frantz Jean for the results of the goaltending, then that same criteria has to apply with the defense and Dan Lacroix. Defensemen regress in TB. (Hedman came back from Russia improved and you know he'll start slipping like everyone else as the season goes on.)
I hate criticizing them and I really want to like this entire coaching staff, but I can't look at the results and say that the process has been completely working.
I would be fine with an entire new assistant coaching staff (Minus Steve Thomas if he counts).
Boucher said because of the schedule, they've only had 4 practices since the beginning of February which says a lot about their play also. I would think it would be the same for all teams wouldn't it???
What would you guys think if we brought in a PP specialist assistant coach? Our PP is getting to the point where I'd like to decline the penalty. The problem with it is it's either really hot or really cold. It needs to stay consistent. Can't hurt to give Guy new ideas, right?
I dont think its been coaching. I think they are just struggling as a team to get the puck in the net. They havent capitalized on their opportunities like they were earlier this season. They also need to be more disciplined and stay out of the box but I feel like no matter what they will get calls. I think they need to be better prepared for adversity and expect it to happen. Nobody is in favor of this team doing anything, so they need to take it upon themselves and make it happen. They have the players and coaching to do it. Just need to snap themselves out of that funk and start playing 60 mins of hockey. The scoring will come, just keep throwing that puck at the net. Good things happen.
