If a team fails to meet expectation, a similar combination of things will inevitably end up going wrong.
Undoubtedly, the 2018-19 Florida Panthers are the most disappointing team in club history. For a team with five 20+ goal scorers, multiple players hitting career-highs offensively and one of the best power plays in club history, to miss the playoffs by double-digit points is absolutely unacceptable.
Failures like this do not come about with one or two things going sideways; it has to be an accumulation of smaller mistakes snowballing until they cause an avalanche.
This team is no different, although some of the problems are certainly greater among equals.
