How is that possible? Genuinely asking, I don’t care to watch them, I loathe them too much, but I always have my hopes up come playoffs time that they are pretenders, because everyone here says so, I’ve lost faith.

Against the Kings, the Kings were dominating them for stretches. Then blew a lead in game 3 and gave up for the rest of the series. They legit just quit trying.
The Knights just suck and should never have beaten the Wild. They stopped trying last game as well.
Teams legit just fold against them though, and they stop skating and trying to score. I don't know if they are intimidated by McDavid or what, but it is really annoying.
