Going to need some grit in Colorado next time around. 2nd time in a row that formula has worked on them. Shame! Shame!
Naw. They just need better players. They gotta quit fucking around with Jost and Compher as top six options. Both guys are fourth line players and both guys muffed prime scoring chances throughout this series. Using those two as the 2nd and 3rd line centers did more to doom this team than anything else.
I’ll have more cogent thoughts on Nemeth and Graves at another time but, those two guys really have no business on a legit contender.
Also, not sure if the goaltending was good enough either. Grubauer just cannot give up a goal like the one he gave up to open this game. He just can’t. I’d say he also overplayed what ended up being the game and series winning goal when he came way too far out to challenge a shooter and left the net wide open for Pietrangelo to put it in.
Beyond that, I have thoughts but I’m just kinda sad right now. Bummed for sure but I’m not really angry. It ain’t worth getting angry about sports at my age. It was still a super-fun regular season to watch.
