1) How to overcome the emotional toll of losing so much, actually play with some energy and confidence again, and hopefully win a few more games at some point?
2) Do you think Nolan has an answer for the above?
3) Do you think Murray is concerned about losing this much, or is all well that ends in us picking #1 or #2? If he is concerned about it, do you think he will try to address it in any way?
1- They play with energy, they are just a slow team. Confidence will come with lucky bounces and cliched moral victories, they aren't getting dejected on the ice only in the locker room after games. The are emotionally about losing, not apathetic and that is a good sign that they care.
2- Nolan is keeping them together pretty well, they play for each other as best they can. When players waver they seem to get stern discipline with benchings or scratches, team is still run professionally.
3- Murray cares about the draft, trades and who he wants on the roster going forward. He has had opportunities to address many issues with the team and did absolutely nothing.
