That was embarrassing, but I am not too surprised or angry. This was a lower tier playoff team that had a lower tier result, with the bonus of providing some good entertainment in the qualifying round. But is should be clear now that this core, which looks good on paper, does not have it in them to win come playoff time. Time to move big pieces on the number one line, and of course, try again for a number one goalie and a coach that can win come layoffs.
