There have been many postgame briefings like it this season. A coach comes into the locker room to face reporters and seemingly can't take it anymore, his displeasure obvious after seeing his team get trampled by another opponent
Example: After a 5-2 loss to the Blues on January 5, Stars coach Ken Hitchcock didn't try to sugarcoat his feelings.
"They kicked our ass," Hitchcock said. "They won all the fights for the loose pucks. They beat us in the faceoff dots. They were better through the middle of the ice. They kicked our ass."
