I still can't get over this stinging and it's been like this since last years playoff exit. I'm totally not upset about losing but more so by the way we lose and Treliving not addressing anything since last year.
The Avs killed us by their speed. They beat us to the puck, they beat us for the puck, and we just don't have an answer.
We beat the Jets but still you look at the way a player like Kyle Connor slices and dices his way into our zone uncontested, the Jets just weren't deep enough to beat us yet we didn't look like we were a dominant team.
The Stars are pretty much doing what the Avs did to us. The series should be over by now 4-1 but we stole game 3. No adjustments by the coaching staff. After game 3 everyone was preaching about winning and it doesn't matter how you do it, well, it sure aged pretty quick. After game 4 Ward was talking about how this is a great time and being all positive about it.
I said this before trade deadline, we should have made moves for the future because we're not a contender. Instead Treliving is insistent on making minor tweaks and adding a PP specialist offensive minded dman that isn't a great defender which we already might have in Kylington, a slow stay at home dman in Forbort which we already have in Stone.
Hopefully we can somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat for the rest of this series.
