It isn't that they are losing, it's the way they are losing. It's unacceptable to be completely outplayed in back to back games, at this time of the year, or any for that matter.
They've been getting by lately with timely goals while not playing well. Now the goals are drying up and they aren't getting any shots on goal.
Losing is kinda fine if you are working hard and not getting rewarded. Clearly these past few games they haven't been working hard.
