## Resource

Utah Mammoth face a postseason reality check as consistency—both a strength and a question mark—dominates the conversation after their playoff exit at the hands of Vegas. Can head coach Andre Tourigny and GM Bill Armstrong chart a course for deeper playoff runs, or will power play woes and blown leads undermine their progress again? Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño spotlight the standout performances of Dylan Guenther, Logan Cooley, Clayton Keller, and Nick Schmaltz, while dissecting critical themes from end-of-year press conferences. Key topics include Utah Mammoth’s evolving defensive mindset, power play struggles, and the impact of injuries to Barrett Hayton and Jack McBain. Plus, questions swirl around J.J. Peterka’s fit and Lawson Crouse’s resurgence. With the bar set at “playoffs or bust” for next season, Armstrong’s confidence—and Utah’s roster decisions—face intense scrutiny. Will this young group deliver when it matters most?
