I don't buy into this idea that the Lucic situation is in any way the reason for this slump at all. If it was Marchand or somebody who had been here all these years maybe but most of the guys on this team barely know Lucic at all and he only played a handful of games before the injury so he's no more a factor than say Brown getting waived off and on. He just wasn't that important despite the sentimentality of his coming back for us fans. Certainly not important enough for a collective team let down.
To me it's all on Monty now. Aside from the playoffs (which he dealt with poorly) he hasn't had a slump to get them out of so it's time to earn the big bucks they pay him. We've had a super strong leadership core for years and that always helped get us out of down bits so maybe this group isn't as good at it (maybe) but if so, that means it's all on the coach.
Time to get back to hard work lunch bucket straight ahead blue collar hockey. And for F#$k's sake HIT SOMEBODY once in a while.
