You heard a little of that from the Oilers last night. Nugent-Hopkins basically said as much and that he has confidence in the team.
The shots were 41-18 again last night, so there's definitely a luck element to all of this. The team is dramatically outplaying their opponents in many of these games and still losing. It is coming down to a couple mistakes each night because right now in game after game we're seeing great netminding against us, and brutal netminding behind us. And then the game can turn on a single blooper, especially because the confidence level is so low.
If they fire Woodcroft - and I think they will today - I could see the next coach getting a really favourable bounceback. Not because they have done anything different, but because at some point if you get 40-45 shots a game, they're going to start going in at some point.
I'm not of the belief this team is out of the running this year, because while there's been a couple of horrendous games this year, they're actually outplaying many teams for 75% of the game. If we start scoring, we can like last year outscore our problems a lot of games. If we were also to get a goalie who can stop a puck? Watch out. (Of course, given that was a known issue it would have been a lot better to get a goalie in the summer...)

It's not luck. They're a bad hockey team. They're not getting goalied against a string of backups and the Sharks, they're just bad. 41 shots sounds nice, but not when they look like they've regressed to the Eakins era of thinking. They're leaving guys open in the slot while winning the corsi battle.
They're not out of the running and it can be turned around, but it's not a simple fix. There isn't a goalie that can simply stop the pucks getting through this team.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
