So FM, what are you thinking now in regards to the Penguins? Do you think they have the momentum they need to propel them to a Stanley? I'm getting nervous here. I don't wanna spend $120 on my friend. lol
FYP. I WILL remain optimistic.I would be shocked if the Penguins were not playing in the finals. However, once they're there it'll be tough to beat Detroit, Dallas or San Jose. Do you have a bet?
I feel almost stupid saying this, but I still think the Canadiens are dominating the Flyers despite the Flyers' 2-1 series lead. They got outshot 34-14 tonight, and only a career game by Biron and some great shot-blocking kept them in it. They need to crash the net on offense and start clearing the zone better on defense.
Nice gutsy win by the Sharks tonight, too. Scoring late in the game on the road to seal the win shows some stones that I didn't think the Sharks had.
Wow. That was easily the most entertaining game of the series. I didn't sit down the entire third period! I feel good, because I felt like this is the first win of the series that the Flyers really EARNED. Biron wasn't at his best and the rest of the team picked him up. Didn't hurt that Carey Price was shaky again and that Carbonneau failed to yank him after the second period.
I love the Flyers' chances against Pittsburgh because of the way they played them during the regular season. If the Rangers somehow pull off a miracle, I'm less optimistic about facing them.
