Don't worry, wheel team will still be bad for another decade or two.
FTFY
This offseason is going to be wild. Plenty of teams poised to do something desperate/stupid
Yeah, they have officially claimed the record for longest cup drought previously held by the Rangers so that's nice I guess. On the other hand, the reality of just how hard it is to actually win a cup is pretty discouraging.Hell, it makes me feel better about the Wings.
It's not only about if you lose but how you lose. For a team that obviously has more talent and playing at home (fans or not), the effort looked so bad like it was just a regular season game instead of a game 7 to advance. Literally no fight until the very end when it was too late. Some of that has to be on coaching. Toronto should of came out on fire, exert their will. At least if you lose you fought like hell. Didn't see any of that last night.
Did have 18-11 edge in scoring chances. Crazy enough at 5 on 5, there were only 3 credited high danger chances credited among both teams combined. Not saying they couldn't have shown more effort or "fight" as we like to call it sometimes...but it's not like they gave up a ton and were getting outplayed all over the ice, either.

The point is good teams find ways to create chances and give themselves a chance to win. I think I heard that the Leafs had 'one' odd man rush the entire game. Yea give credit to Montreal but like I said if your a good team (with expectations to go deep this year based on the regular season) you find ways to create chances. From what I saw it just didn't look like they had a ton of scoring chances. I especially expected them to come out in the 3rd period (with a power play to start the period too) and just firebomb pucks at Price but it didn't happen.
I disagree. They were getting outplayed all over the ice. They were absolute trash in the neutral zone, and they dumped too early and never recovered it.
