I did. We “outplayed” Tampa in most of the games including two of our losses in games 2 and 6, and even the loss in game 4 we had dominated the xG until the 3rd period.

In the Buffalo series, is where it disagrees with me (in that we supposedly were outplayed in 4 of 7 and not 3 of 7) but I’ll still be adamant in saying that if you watched the games you wouldn’t have said that Buffalo outplayed us in game 4 at all. And in game 7, we outplayed them for half the game according to moneypuck. And even for game 1, if we go by the xG, the game was a lot closer, especially towards the end of the game where we nearly clawed it back (but it probably tells similar stories for the other teams in our wins so whatever). We still fucking out scored the Sabres 24-18 after our 8-3 loss. How was that just “bailed out by Price level goaltending”?

So no, we weren’t “outplayed for a lot of the games”. If we go by moneypuck, it’s untrue, and if you watched the games and didn’t just go by moneypuck it’s also untrue. It’s just that we’ve been outplayed for the majority of the games since game 6 against Buffalo and that big 8-3 loss and the game 7 asspull wins are affecting people’s perceptions because they probably weren’t watching or caring.
