I was referring to the things he mentioned as the coaching issue: unforced turnovers, coughing up the puck on the forecheck, and too much time spent in the defensive zone.How is that a coaching issue? Isn't that a player leadership issue?
Coaches: here's a winning game plan
Bad player leadership: I'm not so sure, I think we'll just do our own thing instead.
Good player leadership: let's f***ing go get em boys. Anyone slacking is going to get his ass chewed and sit next to the bathroom on the flight back.
But, yeah, you're right, the attitude stuff is definitely a player leadership issue. If they won't buy in, no coach has a chance.
