Soft.  I can’t believe Ruff would allow guys to be soft.  Replace ADams fine, but it ain’t the coaching.  We’ve had too many coaches and we see the same thing every season.  Soft teams with no hustle, no fight, no will to win.  

There is a misconception that Ruff coaches rough hockey.  Outside of 1 sequence against Ottawa, Ruff's teams were soft to a fault.  Under him, they rapidly moved on from the hardest working team in hockey group and it culminated when the team sat there and hugged it out as Milan Lucic stomped a hole in the franchise

Interesting viewpoint.  All I know is they have guys that are supposed to be stars and leaders of the team and they’re not worth much.  Dahlin and Power are defensemen that don’t play defense, and people talk about Thompson or Tuch as leaders and they don’t do anything to hold guys accountable.
