I’m sorry but there is no exuses with mika anymore, he just seems like he is unmotivated with winning & is mentally weak along with some of our other star players on the team. Lavi sounds like gallant but in a different manner. Obviously he’s way better but I guess it all comes down to the players. The players have to start holding themselves accountable. Drury and lavi can only do so much, now it’s up to the guys to buy in with lavi’s system again & not be so weak at passing and on the puck. Beating sub par teams does not make us a Stanley cup caliber team we have a long season ahead, I believe that lavi will make adjustments & will not be happy with this loss. I expect him to make this team play harder next game and force them to be hungrier. FYI: paying igor 12 million won’t help us cap wise. We have alot of players to sign, it shows tonight that even with great goal tending if you don’t have a great structured team up front an elite goalie means zelch.

It’s sad Mika’s play has really dropped off since the 2022 run to the ECF & he’s continuing to trend downward

About right, our guys didn’t show up and just wasn’t good enough. Honestly we should be better however sometimes it’s needed to shake out the lose fruit.

Florida dominated us last year in the regular season as well. Regular season games dont matter, we made a competitive ECF series.

It was more competitive on paper than it was in actuality. Florida actually steamrolled us in the playoffs.

@@ForestOfSleep I watched all 6 games i thought they dominated us in Game 1 but we actually gave them a good series. Bob just made more saves then Shesterkin. Reminded me of when Vasi just turned into the greatest Goalie ever against us in 2022.

Truth is , you can beat up all the Montreals you want but if you can’t beat Florida this team will win nothing .. and why would they they are basically the same team , Mika and artemi disappear and lafreniere incrementally improves but that’s not enough, so it’s just the same teams with the same result , no surprise

With "star" players who "don't like to be hit" this team will never win anything important. #trade mika/bread/miller asap

@DylanMucc1n1 ever looked up the definition of insanity? Thats the rangers bread will wilt when it gets physical bc thats who he is. Mika is even worse a great 2a never will be a 1a and miller needs to go before the league realizes how bad he is and his stock drops
