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"
