Ultimately, I was correct. They were incapable of doing that. 
Bad beat? Maybe they should have come together as a team and tried harder at the beginning of the season. Then it wouldn't have mattered what other teams were streaking or not. Look at the Oilers (yuck) they have absolutely sucked for a month now but they had their playoff ticket secured early. We absolutely failed to do this, and it's no one's fault but the players.
Well, maybe management too but that's another conversation. |
Lets be real you didn't think they would get to 94-96 points...or even close. There is a divisional playoff team with less points. They played well enough, a team from the 60s went on a franchise record winning streak and will beat them by 2 points max...maybe even just the tie breaker.
You are also making crap up about them relying on teams to lose out...they needed one result out of 4 games and were 20 seconds away.
