I agree the goaltending was a huge problem, but the 1,000 pound gorilla in the room was the OT record. The team never practiced 3-on-3 or shoot-outs like they mattered. For a team that was locked in so many close games you would think the team would prepare for the inevitability of playing 3-on-3 or going to the shootout. The failure there is completely at his feet and was out of sheer stubbornness. The game has passed him by and that is the ultimate proof of it.
