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"

Ovi said he was "healthy" during the playoff series. Just another example of being too old, big and slow for playoff intensity. Oshie proved that theory as well. Those guys should be buried on the bench in high intensity games, save only for PP maybe. Carlson looks like he's got another year in him, though not sure at 25 minutes a night. Be nice to find his replacement so he could get 15-20 max and be fresh at the end of games. Going to be interesting offseason. Hope GMBM doesn't  :poop: the bed.  :cross:

If I'd only "listened" they'd be fine. They're just way too goofy for me. You can't unsee that shit. :snicker:

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.  :rofl: Love his enthusiasm, it's just not productive to the overall performance of the team. Is what it is I guess..

It is clear the series would have been different with our Dmen.    Overall good season considering with a good number of draft picks and some exciting prospects in the wings.  Going to watch Zach Funk this week in person a couple of times, see what he brings for next year.

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.

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.
