If Dubas Thursday morning at post-series presser gives a "I believe in this group."

Then he's the only one left.

The one thing I was hoping, if they do lose the series to the Panthers that they lose it quickly. 4 or 5 games. That way there's more pressure for big change, instead of losing in 7 and "see, we're so close!"

Our top players were basically invisible in this game.

The Playoffs is different hockey and you need to find more ways to generate offense and our top paid offensive players just haven't been a factor at all in this series.

It really sucks but this core just doesn't seem to be a winning group.

Pretty much this .. they just don't have it.

That series win against Tampa should have been the monkey off of their back but their lack of killer instinct and bad habits of the regular season got magnified in this series and now they've checked out.

Need a bit retool.

Dissappointing loss, top end didnt show up.

Will be an interesting offseason if we suffer our likely fate here.

I called a sweep before the series even started.

This team's problem is Marner.

He plays a style of game that does not work in the playoffs as you don't get the same space.

The entire rest of the team learned to just stand around and wait for the Marner pass that isn't coming.

JT putrid too, horrible signing and undeserved captaincy.

It’s quite pathetic that I am pinning my hope on Woll and Murray to steal the series.

I really want to stay positive and support our guys but in a must win game, you just can’t come out flat, the big guys are suppose to lead but they were horrible.

Look at our core players dawg, we’re never winning anything.


Matches the eye test fairly accurately with the one exception of Kampf probably being lower thane expected given how well he played.

That was one of the worst games of Marners career since he was a sophomore and got demoted by Babs to the 4th line for a few weeks
