When 4 of your top six forwards don’t pizz a drop you don’t out score your shortfalls and a sub 0.900 save % isn’t going to get you very deep. I get the sense a lot of the key guys were banged up as guys who elevated last year looked laboured all playoffs long.
Team is just coming into their prime. Gotta keep tweaking roster, need a prospect or 2 to over achieve, and need to be healthy. It’s the toughest trophy in professional sports to win for a reason.
