"Down two goals with 3 minutes left and pat maroon is playing, I might need a break from watching games."

Here are some fan reactions:

"Can we please bring back Q? That was pitiful! No heart, effort, drive, will to win, and no teamwork. Just looks like a bunch of guys playing pickup hockey." one fan wrote on X.
