Girgensons Is No Longer An NHL Level Player ?

But have they really? I'm not saying it's not justified. I *am* saying that I think the team brought this on themselves by 1) given the boos credit for motivating them to come back in a game they were losing), and 2) continuing with slow starts. I kind of think the fans' attitude is, hey, it worked once, let's try it again. And then when it didn't, out came the FIRE DONNY chants. The players are mad enough at the fans that they've figuratively gone to war against them, but the players have no one to blame but themselves for situation, and blaming it on the fans isn't going to make it better.

Everybody that posts here should read this. Thanks for posting it. I know I’m not crazy after all. I can't remember exactly when it was, but I think it was in November; I think Alex Tuch said something similar, and that the boos helped the team realize they had to work harder and they won a game (I thought it was 11/24 vs. Pittsburgh, but in the postgame presser Tuch didn't go there exactly.) But I associate the statement with Tuch, and that it was to the effect that that fans weren't wrong and the team needed to hear it. It worked once, but since then the fans have been quick to boo and it's no longer having the desired effect, making everyone more frustrated. I feel like the FIRE DONNY chants were a direct offshoot of that incident.
