I can see your prediction coming true because of the weak opponent (with no star goalie to steal a game or two) they’ll likely get in the first round.

Not bringing in another veteran defenseman with that LTIR space was criminal and a major reason we’ve missed the playoffs. And it’s not like the universe didn’t beg Fitz to make a move - so many dmen got hurt, many at once at times; the goaltending continuing to show how bad it was; the major minutes unfairly thrust upon the young defensemen; the first goal conceded debacle; late goals conceded; giving up goals in bunches. And yet Fitz sat there….infuriating, especially given that the universe begged us to grab a playoff spot.

The Rags will choke in the first round once again. They are not built for the playoff style.

I guess Houston wasn’t as ready enough as Utah? Because SLC isn’t a very big market. Houston is massive.

I was, as well. Did Nemec even agree to the fight? Or did Dummy just start throwing fists? If it’s the latter, how is that not a suspendable action?

At least our offseason will be interesting to follow. New head coach, high-ish draft pick, trades… Also will give players chance to really recover from lingering issues. Jack getting hurt in St. Louis was the downfall for us.

The good news is 1) they at least showed some fight with the line brawl, 2) the odds of us having a nice pick to trade this summer went up some more.

I hope not but they needed to be sheltered this season. And I wouldn’t expect some huge jump in development with either one next season. If they’re playing the same role next season with no competent partner then we can expect similar results.

Being out scored first. Not holding leads. Fitzgerald can take all the blame for icing a bad team and wasting this year.

Siegenthaler was good for half a season in his first full season in NJ. He’s been pretty bad otherwise. For me, he’s the most overrated player on the roster. HOW WAS THST NOT A HOOK ON JACK??

And to shelter Hughes and Nemec while they grow into the huge roles currently being asked of them.

This is the team Fitzgerald has thought would make a playoff spot. I kindve don’t trust the guy.

The defense desperately needs a couple solid veteran players next season.

Why were they even trying to win the game instead of taking out key Ranger players??

This team plays scared in third periods. Another blown lead.
