I dont see how the forwards are getting criticized when they're absolutely perforating Elliott with shots every game.
This series comes down to the mistakes of the same Dmen that have been problematic all season (TVR, Seabrook), and another that everybody knew would crumble in face of playoff pace and consistent games played (Rozsi).
All of this has been exacerbated by a coach that seemingly chooses favorites by dart-board and prioritized said favorites over merit.
This series, close as every game has been, has been decided on egregious defensive errors from players and pairs everybody with functioning eyeballs and a baseline understanding of the numbers were concerned about.
Short of nonsense ideas that a forward can #heart, #will, #want the puck into the net, the forwards are doing their job. The coach and the D are coming up short.
