I honestly believe that this team won't have a winning season again until they all go see the same sports psychologist that Horcoff went to go see before his one and only breakout season. This team has to think that they are cursed, and there certainly is no pushback when things start to go bad. You can see it etched in every face, damn, here we go again when something bad happens.
I honestly believe that all the losing for the last 7 seasons has sunk into the dressing room so badly, even with all the player turnover, that the team hasn't got any belief that they can win. They don't know how to win. They have no clue what it takes to win. Right now, there is no one on the team player, or management wise that can convince this team that they can win. They are finished. SUCK. Its in every persons mentality on this team.
That is exactly why players that get off this team go to another team, and start being successful again. Nope, its not a lack of talent, its not a lack of team play, its not just a lack of scoring or bad goaltending. All the games I have watched, they have let down in key moments, given up bad goals, or gotten in a hole early. Why? They just don't believe that they can win. They need to have their psyche changed.
The whole damn team, including management need to go to that same sports psychologist, and figure out where they are going wrong.
