Hmm...yeah i guess we could be jumping to conclusions...but I know me personally I would be calling for a coach and/or system change even if we were 1st in the east. I do not like this fast paced grinding system that us and oh so many teams in the east run (like the Crapitals)...I don't care if its high flying and fun to watch, it won't matter when we play San Jose and they control the puck for over 70% of the game.. Also I think we have a team that could run a European System like the Sharks... Anyways that i just my opinion...
EDIT: after discussing this with Kevin he brought up a good point. The problem isn't that we are just as good as last year, it is that every other team has gotten significantly better...so while we have remained a constant, other teams have gone out and become alot better which may cause problems for us down the road. Also it is unclear if we will go out and get ourselves an all-star player at trade deadline to help us dominate in the post-season

I said this all throughout the Finals last year... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
We cannot continue to play a style that with lines that are meshing right now and expect to win. Especially when teams are countering our style of play with a far superior one, while we just sit back and watch.
Also, I'm gonna call out the 3rd line tonight. Do something. Generate some scoring chances and put one past Fernandez or Thomas.

The system wasn't good enough to win a cup when we had better players, what makes them think it will work better with worse players?
