Makes sense. They are well coached, and have several very good possession players like Marchand, Bergeron, and Krejci. But they also had Jimmy "no points for 35 straight games" Hayes in their top six. Not a talented or well-built team at all right now.

 

But an absence of puck luck has to be playing a role, yeah?
