Simply put, will Richards be the one forced to fall on the sword for the way this season is playing out so far?
Someone always has to take the fall when things go bad. I think it will be TR.

Too soon to say anything. If we lose another 5 or 6 in a row, even without the return of injured players, you might have to look at making the move.
Sure we've ran into major injuries, but no NHL team should lose this many in a row. Especially when you have 3 players producing around a PPG pace and 3 players at a 30 goal pace.
Every team in the NHL can play defense. Richards has to adjust and simplify our game. I think we should have become a clog up the neutral zone, counter team until we started getting players back. Especially with guys on defense like Prout and Savard with JJ and Murray out.
I've said the problem is systemic. It's up to the coach to stop the bleeding. I've said Richards is slow to adjust. All he's done is leave the same system in place and wait for the players to adjust. That translates to long losing streaks.

Um, yeah...let's just ignore the 10 regulars who have been out. 3 of your top 4 centers. Two top 4 guys. Your $6 million goalie. Let's ignore all that. THE COACH SHOULD BE WINNING DAG NAB IT.
