The team was substantially different that the last time they were in the playoffs. How would anyone predict they'd play the same?

Core players were the same. Sure the third and fourth line and all the d was different, but when your core wasn’t there night in and out and can’t break through bigger d, or they’re not speedy enough as an identity in a league where speed is necessary, I’d say it was a likely outcome. The goaltending falling apart came out of nowhere for sure.
