I wonder how much was it acting like a petulant child and how much it was some players falling off a cliff. Particularly guys that were already hanging on to a ledge. As mediocre as our D is right now, we used to have Trouba and Lindgren as two top 4 guys. Lindgren was here until recently, but it's easier to hide one guy especially with a guy like Fox, than 2 guys in the top 4. Then you have Kreider who still sucks. Mika, is just an emo player like Igor and he needed to play with a top 10-15 center in the NHL as a winger to find his game. The entire Panarin line has been worse this year. And Panarin is heating up but he's still just a very good offensive player and not all world like he was last year. There's no way they should have been 4-15. But it was one of those things where everyone's game fell off at the same time.
Maybe - I can't read the players' minds so I'm not going to say you're wrong, but from my POV it seemed like they were disinterested in giving anything more than a token effort. I mean, even if a player sucks, we all know what hard work looks like on the ice. I didn't see a team of crappy players working hard. I saw half the team mailing it in.
 
Jones really not to blame for that goal. A simple 2 on 2 and Soucy leaves his guy to attack Jones' guy and then whiffs completely on him.

I think there was an element to it. But I don't think not giving any f***s was the sole reason. More like players feeling sorry for themselves and their game falling off. When you feel sorry for yourself it's hard to find your game.
 
Somebody rip that tablet away from Zibanejad. Like what are you even looking at? Been doing the same shit all season, but watching the last play is suddenly going to do any good?
