The past 4 seasons with Lavi have resulted in us playing some outstanding hockey, easily our best ever. We've had times were we looked unstoppable. But in each season, something happens and the team seems to hit a wall or completely fall apart. We saw this during the regular season in Lavi's first 3 seasons.
Playoff wise, we've additionally seen a few cases where the team goes into a big playoff game and not only loses, but completely blown away in a short period of time, where it looks like everything just falls apart. Think San Jose game 7, a couple in the Penguins series, game 3 against Colorado etc. We see goalies breaking sticks, our best defensemen looking average (Josi, Weber vs San Jose, Subban the other night).
I know that every team has issues in the playoffs and for good reason. But I'm struggling to find out how the Preds can keep finding ways to screw up those games so badly. Coaching? Captains? The core group?
