The "Bluesy thing to do" would be to miraculously eek out a lucky 4-3 series win over Winnipeg, and then thinking they must really be good to have beaten Winnipeg, relax over the first 2 home games vs. Dallas, and end up losing both.
Then they panic the rest of the way, desparate, but ineffective, like the last half of last night's game, and lose in a 4-game lopsided sweep, because no matter what mix of players they have, they never seem to learn the lesson that you need to want it so badly that you TRY TO work hard EVERY GAME, and all 60 minutes of each game (e.g. work the hardest you can, given your fatigue).
