All I see is a slump. It's going on longer than I would like and it's not good. But a 7 or 8 game skid doesn't indicate to me that a systemic collapse throughout the entire organization is taking place. And it's not like other teams have suddenly figured out some magic formula to shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning; it's our players making mistakes and playing poorly.
