Most certainly does.

This team barely has time to practice with the current schedule. They consistantly have to change the lineup. The players out are much better than the ones coming in. You can coach all you want but you still need some talent.

The problem with blaming the youth is, a lot of times it's veterans making the mistakes. Look at the Pens game. that 5 on 3 was a series of veterans making mistakes. Knuble was careless with his stick, Fedotenko took a dumb trip. Talbot had a brain fart on the new rules....it's not the kids making those mistakes

A Holmgren update with the UBI monotonous garbage (will not return) is on it's way.

Diagnosis hairline fracture of the skull.

Don't disagree but that doesn't mean this team isn't well coached. Thats just dumb plays by veteran players.

someone needs to tell the Flyers that they can't protect a 2 goal lead when it's only a 1 goal lead.

Possible, but when you have several solid veterans continuously making mistakes or looking lost, it has to make you wonder about the message from the coaching staff

Coots was really strong on that shift. Like what I am seeing from him.

he's been playing WAY better than earlier this year.

could easily have 3 or 4 goals over the past few games.

You can coach X's and O's and tell players 1,000x where they should be or what they should do but it doesn't always happen. The coach can't be blamed for every single mistake out there.

I'm not saying Lavi doesn't deserve criticism b/c its his team and when they struggle he needs to make adjustments. I'm just not going to blame him entirely for whats happening and even suggest that he should be fired right now.

That's a questionable call in a game that has had a few of them.
