If Jonsson didn't get hit from behind by Roberts and Peca didn't get his leg blown out by Tucker then maybe things get better..
I'd kill for an emotional year like that. New ownership, Gm makes moves to get team competitive and they have a terrific first series.

Those two plays absolutely crippled our chances, however I would argue the Jonsson injury was far more difficult to overcome. No doubt Peca was the teams heart and soul, but Jonsson's absence really stood out. Our lack of depth on the blueline was already an issue before the injury.....we just didn't have the horses to cover his loss.
I am in the same boat my friend, another emotional series like that would be amazing!
