And this is why I refused to say that this Bs team is better than the 2011 or other great Bs teams. Had to wait and see how they did in the playoffs.
The playoffs are a whole different ball of wax than the regular season. Still far from over for the Bs, but to go in as the overall NHL favorite to win the Cup, playing the worst defensive team in the playoffs, and have it pushed to game 7 is not the work of a great team.
The D needs to be miles better. Ullmark shouldn't have played. The coach is making some abysmal decisions. The leadership doesn't seem to be making much difference. Bert and Brad at least coming through huge offensively. Marchy 4 pts and Bert 3 pts tonight. Pasta was a net positive tonight, so that's good as well.
Hopefully the Bs can quit shooting themselves in the foot, pull out game 7, reset and go on a tear in round 2.
