It's crazy how terrible they were on home ice in the series. Four goals at home in four games and seventeen goals in Tampa in three games. The question of why has to be asked.
Has to be some major changes. Window will only close more. Other teams are getting better. This team struggled most of the playoffs. Their luck finally ran out. Should have lost vs. the Craps. They were outplayed most of this series.
Yep. They did not outplay teams often in this playoffs. Yes, not having Zucc hurt but there is no reason for making Holtby and Bishop look all world in so many games. Absurd. Boyle, Glass and St. Louis have to be shown the door. Great career for St. Louis but he's done. Nash has to be put out there to see what is offered. Would see if Staal would waive his stupid NTC to go elsewhere.
I think minor changes are obviously needed. Doubt Nash waives his NTC but explore it I agree w you Dump that Nash has value. Team is close window still open.
If you look at it objectively you saw it in the first round also. All 2-1 wins with overtime in two of them.
I think MSL will be gone. Boyle could be gone. Doubt Glass go anywhere with that contract and bad play. I still see Nash here. Overall I see some minor moves, maybe add a righty top 9 as well, but I don't see major moves. Next season will not be an easy season I fear.
Somehow they seemed to score at TB without Zucc. You won't see me mention him once. He was out...deal with it. We seemed to do it getting by the Caps and in TB.
They did try to deal with it, having one more experienced forward would have helped, no excuses not saying we win a cup if zucc is healthy, just made it harder, uncessarily
No, a bunch of their guys just had the flu the past few games AND Boyle missed game 1. We won't agree here. He was out, we beat the Caps without him, we scored a ton in TB without him, I don't want to hear about how he was missing. Just how I view these things.
MLS going from age 39 to age 50 overnight combined w getting nothing from Nash offensively most games combined w no Zuc doomed this team ultimately. Future still bright guys but concern is the window on Hank that is closing slowly
