I really hope I'm able to make it down to one of the games if played on a weekend. A deep playoff run would do wonders for the kids who are fighting for spots next year. (Plus Eakins probably)
I would have a lot more confidence if Terry were there. Even without him, I think they should still beat San Jose. However, if they get Bakersfield in the next round, that will be a huge obstacle.A lot of experienced players on the team, including guys who have had success at the NHL level. I think this team has a chance to do a lot of damage.
I thought Kossila was totally ineffective in game 2, also. Expected a lot more from him.Steel races down the ice to beat out an icing, allowing Sherwood to center the puck to Cracknell who put it into an empty net to seal the game at 4-2. Gulls outshot the Barracuda 36-22 in by far their most complete game of the series. I also have to mention that Jeff Glass made 2 AMAZING saves in the 3rd. I thought the Welinski-Benoit pairing was fantastic. One player that I have been very disappointed in is Kossila, so many plays have died on his stick in the offensive zone. Gulls can move on if they win game 4 on Wednesday.
