Besides being out-worked, out-hit, out-skated, not winning faceoff and not competing,  we could have won that series!

[Surreylily]

Nighty night all. 

I'd like to say it's been fun........         





Miss you already.

Atta boy Osh! You still got it! You can take on 4 skaters by yourself.    And that's how it ends folks. Thank you fans! lol  See you guys around until next season! 

[Iafrates Ghost]

Hope they can find some talent over the Summer.


Trade Carlson,,,, please


Do not bring back Pacioretty or NAK


Let the kids play and see how they can progress


Protas learn how to hit the net and score a few on your high danger chances

I feel bad for Carbs.  He has been dealt a bad hand and will have to put up with this for 2 more years.  You know he would like to bench all the old vets but he can't so he must just endure it like we will.


This was just an embarrassment all around.  Ovi stunk, Oshie made horrible mistakes, Strome took half the games off.  Yes our D was banged up, but it looked like they just wanted to avoid physical contact and get to the golf course as soon as possible.

We all knew it was extremely unlikely this squad would get past the 1st round. But games 1 and 2 were pathetic. 3 and 4 were better, but it’s still embarrassing to get swept. OV in this series reminds me of Jagr when he was here, no effort. And the officiating was still fucking atrocious.

[Mickstix]

They were only slightly worse than expected in the playoffs. I figured they'd steal at least 1 game. No expectations of winning a series. Hope they can improve in the offseason, somehow, someway. Need a #1C and a goal scorer. May be able to survive with the D core, but a #1D who can produce would also be nice.


After observing Oshie all year, I've lost hope he has the "common sense" gene. He'll be back next year and play (when he's able) till he stops getting paid or dies on the ice.  Love his enthusiasm, it's just not productive to the overall performance of the team. Is what it is I guess..

Oof.  Jensens's primary assist in the first minute...I thought they'd quit right then an there.  But, I thought this was probably the best showing overall of the four games.
You can't allow 2 PPG in a playoff game, much less 2 SHG pus 6 PPG in 4 games and have any success.  Add in our own inept 0 for....PP, and pffffff.

The officiating did not change the inevitable outcome of this series, but it sure did make it a specials teams matchup WAY TOO OFTEN.  When was the last time you saw this many penalty calls in a 4-game Playoff series?  Especially one as vanilla as this.  Guess it wasn't close enough for anyone's tempers to really start flaring.

And most of our "stars" were invisible during these playoffs.  Ovie, Oshie, Wilson, Strome...I recall Strome doing some, but same story all year...not enough from our "top talent"

[richkrt99]

This heroic effort of a playoff series led in goals and points by that famous scoring machine Martin Fehervary:

Fehervary 2g 1a
Wilson 1g, 2a
Carlson 1g, 1a
Strome 1g 1a
Lappy 1g, 1a
Protas 0g, 2a
McMike 1g, 0a
Oshie 0g, 1a
Patches 0g, 1a
Alexeyev 0g, 1a

Ovie and everyone else on the roster 0g, 0a.
