At the start of the season if you said 3rd in the Pacific with a 1st round loss I would have said I would be disappointed but it shows progress in the right direction.
It’s only because the regular season was so good that this is so frustrating.

I don't think it matters if you lose 4-0 or 4-3, if your team fights hard and leaves everything out on the ice. The fact they had a great regular season and played like this is just bad on so many levels. The fact that 2 of the last playoff series this franchise have been in have been complete white washes, with these players, is also bad on so many levels.
As a fan, if you aren't willing to address the problems - in my mind Monahan, Brodie, who were negative assets the entire series. Then what are you supposed to do? Soft, ineffective play from 2 big pieces of your puzzle against decent opposition, absolutely killed this team this year, so what point is there in giving these guys another kick at the can for a third try?
Square peg, round role is not the tactic to take here when your Norris contending defenceman is nearing the end of the road with each wasted season
