You know what is truly disappointing? To watch teams that were behind us in the rebuild, not have as much offensive talent, and generally have a mediocre roster, advance farther in the playoffs than us. Vancouver, NYI, Montreal, Arizona, Carolina etc are not more talented than we are. But they do play as a team, and have a goalie who will steal them a series from time to time.
We have way too much money invested in 4 players, offensively skilled, who for whatever reason do not have the heart to pull us through a series. To have 40 mill invested in offensive talent and be scoreless in 2 of a best of 5 is disturbing. We have to find a way to balance the money allocated to the roster. If that means moving one of the four, then it has to be done. Defensively, even though we were ok against an average offensive team like Columbus, we are a train wreck. We have a true #2 in Rielly and #3 in Muzzin. Everyone else is either a #5 or #6 or ECHL calibre.
I was a kid when we won the last Stanley Cup, barely remember it, but we haven't even sniffed a bloody final in all the years since. Tragic.
