I think it's the 2nd but like... I can basically point the finger at 5 players for this series loss: Bennett, Bobrosvky, Weegar, Yandle and Driedger.
Do some spring cleaning and we're still in a good spot.
Yup. Love Bennett but wow was he an idiot. Weegar was attrocious all series. Bob I could write a novel, Yandle has been mitigated and won’t be a factor next season. Next season we are adding Lundell and papa Zito is going to fix some issues. I think the team will be even better next season. Most optimistic I’ve ever been as a fan of this organization although that isn’t saying much.

I actually really like Sam Bennett and think he looks better at 2C than Tro but boy he makes some questionable retaliation level BS plays. Calgary fans warned us of this.
Unfortunately that’s the cost of getting a guy who plays on the edge like him. He’ll have plenty of time to think about it in the off-season.

Am I crazy to just put it on Bennett? Game 1, up late and looking good up against an unstoppable PP and he takes a hilariously bad penalty, game 6, buzzing, so close and he takes another hilariously bad penalty.

Both led to backbreaking goals, both were clearly penalties.

Yeah Bennett looks f***ing terrible with his idiot mistakes. That being said, we got even decent goaltending we’re not even in those situations.

Yes. If the team can't cope with a couple of penalties then that is one very weak team.

Blue Jay Way..
Billy's 2nd period takes:

  • Vasi inVezina form
  • Bad penalty Bennett
  • Big miss OT
  • Stammer finally hits
  • Barky needs to shoot
  • (like I say) have to breakdown the period. in 10 min segments, while shutting the Lightning out.
  • Looking for a Gm 3 repeat

Tampax's intermission broadcasters gushing over Benny's penalty.. "We do not know what Bennett was thinking about but we sure made him pay for it."

Funny.

This series has made me miss Pysyk. He was one of our best D PKers for a while.
I want to check the numbers but outside of Acciari (who is too slow to be a good PKer) I feel like our team is extremely averse to blocking shots. Feel it at even strength too. Our forwards look scared to pressure D men with the puck

Game 4 is basically entirely on Bob though, that was just absolutely terrible goaltending and put our team down 3-1. Weegar's just like an accumulation of bad plays every game and Driedger also had a bad game although it didn't cost us.

The next tier of blame goes to the players who disappeared this series offensively and some questionable defensive plays: Verhaeghe, Duclair, Wennberg, Vatrano, where are any of those guys? Montour, Nutivaara both struggled too.
