nothing to be sad about with this one, game 7s are single games and can go either way. for me the best team won, but thats nothing negative on the spits, they took it further then most thought they could.
said it before and will say it again, THIS is what competitive hockey is, its not losing in the 1st round for 12 straight years and average drafting, relaying on other teams cuts to just field a team. we may have to take a step back a bit over the next year or 2, thats fine, but no longer should it be acceptable for this team to lose 12 straight first rounds, no way. accepting that or just offering excuses as to why its ok or why it happened shouldnt be acceptable. honestly, this team has proven it can do better, lets continue to ask them to do that.
