Master Arizona Coyotes sage and Fox Sports Arizona writer Craig Morgan had this to say about fan reactions to the team's disappointing season thus far:

That fact has angry fans divided into several camps just 23 games into the season. There is the blame-Mike-Smith camp, the blame-Keith-Yandle camp, the blame-Dave-Tippett camp, the blame-Don-Maloney-camp and the blame-ownership camp.

We're not sure who would lose in a poll.

Fortunately for Coyotes fans, we here at FFH are here to answer that exact question.

So have your say: who do you think is to blame for the team's struggles? And can you guess which answer this author believes is the case?
