I Gauthier really largely responsible?
I'm not an informed critic by any means but I thought he did a pretty good job with a situation that just kept slipping off the tracks no matter what he did.
Bad, bad bad result with Markov , not doubt way off the medical opinions he relied upon
Campolio who gets there finally as Markov drags out.. gets clobbered first game he almost plays Boom~
Cammy injured,
Gionta injured
Gomez injured
Faggeddaboudit....
Despair and hopelessness sets in.. .dressing room collapses.....
Kaberle... last desperate shot to try to fix the PP with what was available. Desperation move at desperat moment?
Gauthier? Or scapegoat for bad feelings to be sent off into the desert with our ill will on his back.
I don't mean to directly accuse of scapegoating incidentally: I have way too much respect for your analysis and insights in general, but I just have this sense that Gauthier's ills were team ills largely outside his pervue.
Man proposes, Allah disposes.
Once again.. I 'm not as I hardly need remind, a sage judge of the game and team,
