The ONLY good thing about us missing the playoffs is Maurice possibly losing his job.
But even that seems unlikely for some reason…

3 losses in a row should tell the whole story here

Wtf was the strategy with the extra man at the end? Literally just threw the puck around and didn’t shoot. For a team who needed to win this game they showed absolutely no sense or urgency when it mattered. This one stings…

Does Jim Larranaga know how to coach hockey?

Well, worst case scenario happened. We aren’t making the playoffs, and Maurice is safe because we had a late rally and almost did.

Might have been the most frustrating game to watch this season.
2-0 lead blown against a team that has been tough to beat.
Gudas with a braindead play to come all the way across the ice to make a big hit that lead to this comeback. Ekblad has been atrocious.
Maurice’s strategy of dump and chase makes comebacks exceedingly difficult. Bob was the only reason this wasn’t an 8-3 loss. They also really struggle with the breakout = Maurice again.
We might have the stupidest team. Dumb penalties and poor D positioning on basic plays. What is Montour doing throwing it into the corner at the end? That’s a lack of game management, he had no idea how much time was left.
And ZERO killer instinct. Up 2-0. Couldn’t put them away.
They’ve had so much help in the standings, the playoffs have been there for the taking.

We decided not to make the playoffs in the second period tonight. Just stopped playing hard for whatever reason. So disappointing

Maurice literally makes the worst decisions ever when it comes to setting the tone. HOW MANY FUCKING GAMES HAS THIS TEAM SAT BACK AND WATCHED THE GOALIE GET SHELLED BY ANOTHER TEAM? Ridiculous. And Maurice can’t adjust for fucking shit once shit hits the fan.

If anything I find it hilarious that all 3 competing WC teams are so bad rn that Buffalo is back in the picture.
For all the talk of the Panthers not deserving the spot the Isles and Pens also kinda don’t.

Ahh yes losing 3 in a row when you are trying to make a playoff push. Our defense once again is awful and Maurice’s awful systems have consistently led to blown leads all season

The amount of anger that I feel toward Maurice is not good.

Paul Maurice is actually the dumbest person in all of hockey

You have to wonder if the players don’t like playing for Maurice and want to lose games in order to get him fired.

Paul Maurice was on cooldown, he’s back and sabotaging our playoff run with more dumb systems!

this team is actually atrocious for my mental health

Honestly, I think Ekblad is better when he’s injured. At least he’s not a liability on the ice
