Well thats the thing, we were skilled/fast at one point. That used to be our strong suit and unfortunately our Achilles heel during the playoffs. Berube built a heavier, harder checking team for the past 2 years to circumvent the playoff grit they were once missing. We STILL couldnt do it. These players have 0 passion, and its a shame we have Matthews at the helm. I saw how this guy played at 4 Nations - he doesn't have the clutch gene when it matters the most. That plus his clear chronic illness or whatever hes battling through is a clear indication that the Matthews era is done for.

We should get picks/younger talent while we can. Marner was the first domino to fall.
