Disappointing finish. Not ready to get into all of the post season stuff yet, but did watch Deboer's press conference and kind of hated it. If there was ever a time for just BS coach speak it was then. He was clearly beyond frustrated with his team's performance but you can't drive a wedge between your franchise goalie. Pulling him, deserved or not, right move or not, was plenty without the additional comments. Jake wasn't good enough this series but he was crucial in winning the first 2 series. Also, a lot of the guys in the room he was bashing won't be there. The time for that kind of messaging is training camp with a new team IMO.
One thing I think is becoming clear is it really helps if you can finish off an early series in 4 or 5. We just looked more tired across the board and Jake played more games than any other goalie in the playoffs to date and it showed on him. I wonder if this team could have given Edmonton a better shot if we didn't get such a difficult first round opponent both years that took all 7. Regardless, absolutely deserved to lose this series.
Lots to unpack for post-season but probably going to take a couple of weeks before I start reading all of that.
Also, not going back and reading all post game hot takes, but if someone actually said Fire Nil that is just about the dumbest fucking take I've seen in a Stars thread. JFC.
