Who knows. End of the day this team for whatever reason can't get over the mental part in high pressure games.
So many guys just abandoned the systems and couldn't make a pass or handle the puck (markstrom included). I don't know if that's something that you can fix.
Tkachuk really baffles me. His foot speed is one thing, but his intensity and smarts all evaporated.
It's a big problem that has no easy answer.
