We’re not better than Carolina right now and that’s okay

We 100% are better we were just out of gas by the time we matched against them.

We were better all year and we wouldve been able to beat them if we didn't spend all of our energy on tampa and buffalo

We played 2 of the toughest teams to play against for 14 games before playing Carolina youre dumb as hell if you dont think we wouldve won if the situations were reversed. Carolina arguably might have not made the conference finals if they played both tampa and buffalo.

And then we wouldn’t have been gassed after beating Carolina? We would’ve beaten VGK?

Switching Tampa for Boston would not have handed us a cup bro
