The puck is getting to the place they want the puck.
It's not going in.

I agree, Bingo.
But playoff-bound teams score goals and find ways to win. This team does not (at least in any meaningful fashion), and it misses the net to an unacceptable degree. It is simply not a playoff team (and I say this with no anger—I’ve been off the train for a month or so.)
So is the personnel not good enough then? Is it coaching? What gets the team to the next level? This is the crux of the issue, IMO.
