I honestly disagree. This team isn't a complete repeat of past teams. The injuries are real and the play has been good when important players are in the lineup.
Who said anything about youth? I believe there is leadership but it's not enough to overcome. Coaching has to step up and doesn't.
IMO, one of Lindy's great strengths was his ability to coach different types of teams. He's lost that.
We've had and have key players missing, so I'm not putting this on the players. They've played well enough and have shown an ability to overcome multiple injuries and play good hockey despite the massive rash of injuries.
At some point, coaching has to help and be a factor.
