Post by: richkrt99 on Wednesday April 12, 2023, 03:20:00 PM Eastern: Figured we'd take a beating. Boston is just really good right now and playing well. Lindy hung in there for some great stops, and his two best friends were called on a few times, but I think we all knew this was inevitable. B's had reason to win and we didn't...plus they really are a well oiled machine this year.

We showed some compete which is good, but just not enough firepower. Boston had long stretches where they OWNED the ice, but just didn't score.

I really really hope we got an entirely new coaching staff next year. I don't see this team improving a whole lot either way, but NOTHING will improve with the status quo.
