The team moved on from the Iggy-Kipper era 4 years ago and have made the playoffs twice with some very good young players.

The zebra factor can't be underestimated. Yes, the team folded like a cheap house of cards after the bad goal call, but it was like they all felt fated, like the league was against them. Can't say I blame them, I felt the exact same way.
Point blank, bad officiating cost us two, bad goaltending cost us two. While Hamilton brain farts get an honourable mention. Put simply, had we had reliable goaltending, the series would probably be much different. Or if Gaudreau decided he wanted to be good again, that would have been nice...
Summary of the year and the series
Bad officiating
Bad Gaudreau
Bad Goaltending
Brain dead decisions from the D. Rotating taking turns being the class dunce.
