That's absolutely ridiculous. If you need that in the playoffs you might as well hang up your skates.
They won a round and then were satisfied with themselves. That's all I can take from this miserable effort.
Feel bad for Chuck. He's the ultimate passionate fan. In 30+ years of watching this team this is just the all too familiar result.
AV has been so out coached in this series that it's humorous. Continues to keep the same garbage lines out there that aren't producing, refusing to change them up at all. There comes a point in a game where you stop playing your 4th line but AV NEVER does. We need goals, hell lets just put 5 dmen out there to try and score. Guy is horrible. No one worthwhile really out there though to replace him with. All season it has been an issue. If you're an opposing team, weather the storm for the first half of period one, then adjust to AVs scheme. AV won't adjust to something else. He'll just keep doing the same thing over and over again. Un fucking real this guy. St. Louis and Nash would be on a line with Carcillo right now.
If I'm Hank, I throw AV, Nash and St. Louis under the bus in the media and call them out. Fuck it. This team doesn't have the balls to come back in this series anyways. Maybe I fake an injury if I'm him too just to say fuck you to all of them a la Patrick Roy.
Which is why a comeback is not as impossible as it may seem today. The Kings just came back down 0-3, and i'm sure they looked like horseshit the first 3gms they lost.
