They could be the most skilled team but when they get to the playoffs they get beat up. They could be the biggest team but they get to the playoffs and have the opponent skate circles around them. They get here and can’t string two passes together, can’t make good decisions, can’t get out of their own way, can’t do anything dynamic, and most of all can’t close out a fucking series. Whatever identity they might have just goes away and is replaced by a team that sits on its heels in back to back closeout games.
Painful stuff.
