Obviously, I want and hope they win the series but the worst scenario is not losing Game 4 but winning game 4 and losing game 5 and then they think they tried and just got beat by a team with great D pairings....The narrative is starting to become true, whether these players want it to or not. I have never seen a team THAT much better than its opponent that simply had no heart or killer instinct to win.
Losing this series will not be good. This team simply can't win.
They need to learn how to play and believe they can win. If they actually played the way they did in Game 1 after leading 3-0, they would have won the game but something happened after leading 3-0 and they just literally forgot how to hold on to leads.
Some say Marner played great in Game 3...to me his best game was Game 2 where he kept his game simple.
Some here crap on Willie and say let’s trade him for Dman...I am a big Willie fan but a Dman won’t solve the Lesfs problem. They need at least two vet Dman in the back plus another top 6 winger.
The mistake that Dermott had was unacceptable and as much as I wanted to use exp as an excuse, I just can’t. I believe Dermott can be a good Dman but he needs a steady partner to talk to him on the ice and tell him what to do and what not to do. It’s quite sad that Barrie and Ceci are the most exp Dman Dermott played with. Ever since he came into the league, he had Polak for a bit, Oz, Holl, and Sandin. That’s not how you bring up Dman. Dermott is literally Sandin and TL in a few years
