That right there, is what we don't have in the playoffs. We can come back during the regular season, but the playoff poise is something we need to grasp.
Ya know, the Lightning's current stretch of contending started in 2015. It took them until 2020 to win, and in 2019 they had a rather epic meltdown you might have heard about. Most teams that win cups spend a couple of years learning what it takes in the playoffs. Hell, look at Ovechkin and the Caps. A decade or so of 2nd round losses, until they finally put it together.

We have stuff to learn, for sure. But most teams that win Cups have a lot of struggles before they finally put all the pieces together.

So we're not there yet. But we are taking steps forward, and teams and players aren't static. They'll take this year and turn it into fire for next year. We're only at the beginning of the process.

I can't fathom why a bunch of drunk assholes are throwing beer cans on the ice.
So why are the Isle fans throwing beers? I mean, I get maybe 1 or 2 but geez.
This is an ongoing issue everywhere. My wife's little sisters work food and bev and it's literally the exact same thing with them. People being rude beyond belief seems to be the standard nowadays to the average service worker. I rarely even go out anymore just because I don't want to be seen as one of these douches.

Question from the peanut gallery.....

How come it is perfectly acceptable for the national media to complain about the officiating on behalf of MTL, and Keith Jones keeps complaining about NYI getting away with penalties, but if we say something we get called whiners?

Talked about this somewhere else. The refs have a well earned reputation for letting things go in the playoffs, we saw first hand how cross checks dont get called in the regular season. Most of this stuff does even out case in point the Bolts hold all the time and never get called.
