Kyle Dubas on another first-round playoff exit: “The playoff series and the way that the team played this year was different… The way that we competed in that series against Tampa gives me further belief in the team””

Dubas: Obviously, we are here today at a point where we are proud of the progress that was made during the year. However, we weren’t able to take the key step and the most important step at this time of the year.

Beginning essentially Saturday night at the final buzzer, you begin to get ready to get to work and get to the offseason right away to ensure that we aren’t in this position again as we move forward and we are doing everything we can to surround our coaching staff, players, and support staff with everything that they need to continue to push and break through.
