I don't throw this on Helle. And I don't buy MAF magic horse shoe crap.
Stop, take a deep breath and think about the ice that we had to work with throughout the year when we were lighting up the lamp. Think about the time and space we had in D zones, the odd man rushes, the cross ice passes, the tick tack toe plays, the breakouts of our own end with speed, the down low cycles where we would get a line change in without the puck leaving the offensive zone. Now, think about how much of that we had against Vegas. Take a deep breath and think about it. We didn't have much of it at all. Is that because MAF was playing forward and defence as well? Nope. Their skaters using their system took that away from us. Start there and you will begin to understand why we only scored 6 goals in our 4 losses. Screw the stats. They played better than us. They took our strengths on the ice away from us. I know it hurts, but it is what it is. The goalie makes the save, but the player shoots it in a savable location.
