Also, although Rask stops a lot of stuff most goalies wouldnt, we also whiffed I think at least twice on shots when he was actually out of position.

He’s been really lucky today. We’ve missed 3 wide open empty nets today would’ve been easy goals for apparently any team but us. Also had an easy empty net missed in game 1 that could’ve put us up 3-1 and essentially put them away in that game...

[Proudiddy]

Man...  everyone else has just seemed so much more natural with their hands/puck handling than us.

[t96]

All that time and all you can come up with is that crappy shot... find the open man and bury it

Yeah, again, not being as familiar with our personnel as you, I still have to agree with what you previously posted about us not having any natural goal scores atm.  It also looks to me that we need some more playmakers/danglers next season.

We have made a lot of bad shots, otherwise it would be at least 4-2 in our favor.

[Proudiddy]

Amazing how often in the playoffs our opponents net gets dislodged when we are in good attacking positions...  smh...

We’ve ridden overachieving grinders like McLovin (Warren Foegele, a rookie who was a borderline 4th liner the whole season with no real offensive impact) and relied on outworking the other teams this postseason, as well as admittedly some puck luck against the Islanders (who also overachieved and don’t have much natural scoring talent). We’re really close but it was always going to catch up with us this year. Bruins have like 4x the offensive skill as us, and combine that with lack of experience and poor reffing and you have what we have this series. 

[Proudiddy]

Man, I have not seen any other team in the playoffs mishandle the puck more than us, especially on passes back to the blue line.

[Proudiddy]

Welp...  empty netter off the FO incoming.

[Eazy-E]

We really need to get someone who can put the puck in the net this offseason.

Don't even get me started on our power play defense.

[Proudiddy]

fugkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...

It was a fun season.

I still feel like Boston is going to win the cup but I hope and pray they don’t.

This is what frustrates me. How poor we are at handling the puck and making passes. It's infuriating. I feel like we have beat ourselves more than getting beat by the Bruins.

[Proudiddy]

So frustrating.  Great opportunities and we shoot the puck 3 feet wide of the net.  Mishandled pucks, turnovers, inability to beat defenders in one-on-ones...  and Rask is a fuging cyborg.  poo is frustrating.
