I don't think they were told to chip or stand still, or play safe.

There is no chance Peters said prior to playoffs, we are going to change the way we play. Now start chipping it out. Makes no sense.
That was all the players. They were outworked.
What I do have issue with is the taking the foot off the pedal when clinched. That is something Peters could've corrected. But many (myself included) were calling for players to get rest and heal up (Hamonic had a tough year physically).
