Pretty worrisome going into the playoffs having lost 5 straight. Even more worrisome is the fact that 3/5 were against non-playoff teams, and 3/5 goaltenders we faced would have cleared waivers yet we only managed to score 6 times in the 5 games.
Can not agree with the decision to switch goalies half way through the game, understand that it was the plan but its a terrible plan and I'm surprised the goaltenders allowed it. Have 0 concern with how Kuemper played either, its the 18 guys in front of him that need to be much better.
Zucker doesn't deserve to be in the lineup game 1 of the playoffs. Not over Stoll, Porter, Carter, Jones, or even Fontaine/Dalpe. Pretty sad considering how the year started for him.
