I don't know what Yeo's supposed to do with 20M injured against a team that was much better than us even if we were healthy. The Hawks are 1-2 lines better everywhere, their 3rd D pairing is better than our 2nd, their 2nd line better than our 1st, 3rd better than our 2nd, 4th on par with our 3rd.
Fletcher chose to not build a team on skill, speed, or puck handling, and it shows. Chicago is a great skating team with discipline and incredible sticks, we struggled with puck decisions/placement against AHL teams down the stretch, how are we supposed to be successful against a much superior team.
Would've been nice if we could've beaten AHL teams down the stretch to get a better matchup, but that was the obvious indication that this team is nowhere near competing for the cup and had no business giving up the assets they did for Jason Pominville. Its not just one player or the coach, its a combination of everyone as to why this team can't compete with the Blackhawks.
