People are quick to throw Kesler, Edler, AV, and MG under the bus. As disappointed as I am, it's a shame that nearly 4 years of egtting ot be a top team is overshadowed by one bad playoff series. On to the off-season.
Maybe expectations were too high? I'm not saying it's fine to get eliminated first round, especially after winning two Presidents' Trophies and an appearance in the Cup finals, but it's a grueling road to get to the finals, let alone back-to-back.
