They are pretty mentally weak when things aren't going their way though.... I mean, they're obviously used to close games every game, but obviously get frustrated easily when down a couple goals... they get so many penalties after getting scored on, it's practically a strategy to go on the PK. Late in the game, Martinez was crying all the way back to the bench when Gallagher's stick barely touched his and he dropped it, then they started with their arm-raising from there (one did look like a missed crosscheck to the back).
So, maybe they're super frustrated that a team is actually beating them at their own game.... puck luck goals, mucking it up, and getting away with all kinds of shit.

Mentally weak teams don't bounce back from those bitter defeats we had against the avs in game two and the habs in game three imo. We've also faced a game seven after losing a 3-1 lead and had to play your avs after being 2-0 down....so our guys have faced some very tough times throughout this whole run. However tonight was a complete disaster and a spineless performance. The Panda/Flower issue once again bothers me...and our power play struggles are killing us in a big way.
The positive news is we've not lost in regulation on the habs ice thus far and we've faced must win games already..
But only the lord knows whether this team can be trusted to get it done from here. Another third round exit and this thing might be blown up imo.
