Tough way to go out. They played hard, but they just don't have enough. We need a top level D-man and another legit goal scorer. As was previously mentioned, I'm surprised and happy that they reached the playoffs this early in the rebuild. That can only help the younger players. It even should help Hall who hadn't been there until now.
On a side note, the officiating was awful. If anything, call the borderline penalties against the Lightning, NOT THE DEVILS. The Devils needed the help, NOT THE LIGHTNING. And yet, they still call it so one-sided. You just can't call that many penalties in a row against one team in an elimination game in the playoffs. Reminded me of game 6 of the 2012 SCF.
