Defense and goaltending let them down big time. Pissed off giroux didn't get more face offs. He was ~59% this year -- literally one of the top 3 face off guys in the entire league. Career ~55%. He's officially the LW but he should be the one taking important face offs instead of filppula or couturier. Dunno if that was a coaching call or if his confidence was down after that one Crosby play. They gave up a lot of goals off lost face offs he could have prevented.
Flyers didn't deserve to win the series given the way they played games 1 3 4, but Very excited for the future of the flyers. Carter Hart should be a difference maker when he gets called up. Sanheim and Hagg should improve the backend. Morgan frost is a chl mvp candidate. Lots to like in the pipeline.
