If this report is true, fans have every right in the world to be upset and frustrated with the team. The Panthers got swept! They got smoked in four straight games!
There’s simply no excuse for that kind of performance in the playoffs.

There’s damn sure no excuse for players to be hitting up a strip club after losing in the playoffs. You want to do that in the regular season, fine, but this isn’t the regular season.
This is the NHL playoffs. The stakes are far too high for that nonsense, and I have nothing against strip clubs. I have something against athletes not being focused when fans are spending their money to be invested.
You get what you deserve in this life, and the Panthers are now headed home!
