Wasted a chance IMO and to me it’s even worse that we wasted what was a surprise elite goaltending appearance. That was our biggest question mark heading into the playoffs and it was answered then the rest of the team fell apart.
I hate to get into off ice stuff but I am a little concerned about top guys commitment to the game and fitness. Gaudreau and Monahan specifically have faded down the stretch and really struggle after team break / all star breaks.
If I’m Treliving though my focus for the offseason is on speed up front. Monahan, Tkachuk, Neal, Frolik, Jankowski, are not the quickest and that makes up half our top 9. Need to get quicker especially up the middle as our centres struggled with the Avs team speed IMO.
