I put this series on Bill Peters. Outcoached, and didn't anticipate that after five games in nine night Smith wouldn't have his A game tonight (which he didn't, not to blame him but the guy is 37 and this was inevitible).
Refereeing was pretty gross too though.
This team still has some upside, I firmly believe that.
Credit to MacKinnon and Rantanen, they felt like Crosby and Malkin out there.
