Part of it, of course, is injury-related.

We know McKinnon wasn't healthy.

At least last night, Cale McCarr went through what he went through.

But come on.

I mean, every team to this point of the playoffs goes through injury issues.

So I think that there does need to be a pretty big audit in terms of is it roster-related or is it something else?

I would agree with that, but again, I'm wondering about why are we targeting Chris McFarlane in terms of the speculation that links him leaving the organization.

You know, Jared Bednar probably becomes the most sought-after coach if he's cut loose with a year remaining on his contract.

So I think that that's what ownership and senior management has to come to terms with.

Before you allow other teams to express interest in your general manager position,

Don't you have to believe that it's an off-ice issue and it's not an on-ice issue?

Look at that roster.

If that roster is flawed, who's better prepared or ready to address those issues than the existing group?

So I'm open for anything when it comes to the Colorado Avalanche.

What I'm not open for is an overhaul because I think at that point it gets unnecessary.

from mitch because it seemed like such a big moment and he kind of made the point like is it olympic losses just what do you how do you relate dark times in hockey i think it's all of the above i don't think it can be any one thing i mean of course he wanted to win with the toronto maple leaves he wanted to be a main player and contributing and helping the toronto maple leaves go much deeper than they did internationally all of that kind of stuff

You know, the one thing, and you guys as players can appreciate this, and it's harder now than it's ever been.

You know, the players can say, look, we don't read social media.

We don't pay attention to what's being said on radio or what's being talked about on television.

But you know what?
