I think the problem is that Boudreau lets his teams get to a game 7 every single year. You will always risk elimination in a game 7. The point is to never have your team get to a point where they possibly could be eliminated. That's how championship teams often do it. Some of those teams like Pittsburgh, L.A., Chicago were always going to make it a 7 game series. But you're telling me he couldn't have avoided game 7 with teams like Nashville, Detroit, Montreal, and Philadelphia? No, there's a problem with Boudreau, he lacks a killer instinct, and obviously it filters down to his players on some level. This isn't a coincidence. He should have won a big game by accident at some point by now.
