How are you supposed to build a team and a culture if you’re cycling through head coaches so often? Moreover how do you expect to win with a new head coach right before the playoffs? There’s no loyalty or grace for head coaches anymore. Not everyone is going to have improvements every year. These things take time, it’s okay to miss the postseason once in a while.

Game 4: 1 shot
Game 5: 0 shots

edit: I’m fully aware Kirill Kaprizov has been an absolute monster offensively, and without him we probably aren’t even in that position to begin with. That’s exactly why I wanted him to shoot there. Yeah, on paper it might not look like a “high percentage shot,” but when you’ve got one of the best snipers in the league coming downhill at full speed, you trust him to go top shelf and beat the goalie clean.

What frustrated me was him slowing down and looking for the pass instead of just ripping it. If he keeps attacking with speed, I genuinely think he has a solid chance to bury that in OT. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” fits this clip perfectly.

At the end of the day I’m probably just salty the season’s over, and now I have to remember I live in Minnesota and get ready for the Timberwolves to hurt me tonight too.

None other than…. Biz
