Laval was the top team for a reason.  

True. Although, the Amerks were 6th overall in the league. They’re not some pushover. Just not showing up in the deciding game thus far. And that’s disappointing. Maybe another season from now.

Laval has them on their heels.

4-0 another power play goal. Just throwing it at the net and getting the bounce.

4-0 after 2. Pretty bleak at this point. I hoped they'd shake off the funk in the 2nd but Laval is just a step faster tonight.

[DarthEbriate]

Well. Shoot. No one wants a Flyers-like no-show in a deciding series game.

What do you mean?

It is what it is.  They had a good season.  They won a round.  Young players got some playoff experience.  Every player needs to stay there next year.

A mix of good and bad. A disappointing way to go out.

The team needs to have 2 legit NHL goalies in the fold this fall not named Levi if UPL is still on the roster come October with one of them having enough of a pedigree that he COULD be a legit #1 (and ideally at least 1 of them would be expected to be better than Reimer in a starting role); or they need to have a true legit #1 (think Demko) with UPL or Levi pencilled in as the backup.  

They CAN NOT roll into the season with UPL and Levi as the 2 goalies.

And personally still believe in Levi; but he needs to earn whatever he gets this year.  Almost positive he can still be sent down without clearing waivers.  That should be where he's pencilled in and if he forces their hand into something different; well that's a good thing.

 

Also, personally expect that Kulich will make the roster out of the gate this season; but would really like to see 2 more F's brought it to put him in the position of needing to beat a legit NHLer out in camp to not have to start the year in Ra-cha-cha.  It was an indictment of the team assembly that a rookie was the #1 C for large stretches.

I’d say today buried the last excuse for not bringing in a goalie, but who am I kidding?

Did Terry fly back to Montreal? Pretty close to Laval... Would explain a lot 😁😭 maybe a patented pep talk

If he did Kevyn will tell us how impressive it was soon enough😃

Two things about Levi, and they are the same things as when he got here. He's small and he goes down in that sort of butterfly to cover the bottom of the net but that leaves a huge upper area wide open. He also cannot see through traffic. Fatal issues for the NHL. 

net front and turnovers cost them same way it costs the Sabres. 

here's your lowlights:
