He did those things in the first 3 rounds, it's true. It's easy to do that when you face no adversity, like the Sens and Alfie, until they met the Ducks. Alfie can't handle the pressure. The team was panicing, and instead of doing something to get the team calmed down, like a true captain, he panics and takes that intentioinal shot at Neidermeyer. Another meltdown. Just like every other year.
Face no adversity?
Give me a ****ing break.
Every time the team has hit a challenge in these playoffs, Alfie has stepped up.
From his OT winning goal to his game-tying goal in Game 3, which was incidentally the 3rd of three come backs.
Then the adversity of being unable to score despite dominating play in the entire period, and who else but Alfredsson scores with .3 seconds left.
Your argument holds no merit whatsoever.
What's particularly funny is that people are portraying it as if the Ducks came out like gangbusters in the 3rd, somehow "inspired" by what Alfredsson did.
More gamesmanship.
It was 4 on 4, and Kelly drew a penalty with an excellent rush where he beat the defenceman wide. Then Ottawa failed to score on the PP.
But Ottawa was dominating the early part of play in that period.
Basically people are trying to fit the situation to the facts, and it just doesn't match up very well.
You can think what you like, but it's pretty obvious that your argument doesn't make any real sense at all.
