LA-Van on the OOT scoreboard tonight. I will be cheering for LA. Don't want Vancouver separating. The more in the fight, the better our chance of getting in. Feel like Vancouver and Calgary are the teams to beat to get in anyway.
NO way. Vancouver-Calgary in the 1st round is a beauty matchup, historically...think Pavel Bure 2OT winner in game 7. I hate the Kings. Never liked them, never will.
Ok Paul Maurice this is your chance...You are going to play two 4 line teams, back to back. Teams who do not deploy a goon...We don't need a visor wearing tough guy, who can't play 2 consecutive shifts without being hemmed in his own zone. If Little or Halischuk are ready to go, it should be at Peluso's expense so that we, too, can roll 4 lines. I read two posts suggesting it should be Slater who sits, but Slater is a faceoff ace, which is significant, the reason why he often gets first unit PK duties. I'll take the scoring chances we get from Slater's faceoffs (I counted two last game), and defensive possession as well, over whatever Peluso is supposed to bring to our lineup, which is...
Let's ĥope that the team can regain its focus. I think the leadership is strong. You have to start Hutch, this is a must win game, the team does not have confidence is Pavs, we know this, Coach knows this. Good goalies are strong mentally, let him bounce back from a poor start against a really good team...
Working evenings sucks, I can't watch the game with my usual intensity. I convinced my boss to let me play my contraband radio at work, for morale, but it's not the same. At least I was told I should be back on days for the playoffs. Go Jets Go!!!
