Speaking of Quick, yikes. Although, the chances San Jose repeats those perfect plays and this kind of blowout are small. Maybe Quick's D-men will try and cut off a pass or two next game.
It is nice to see some scoring. I'm not against low scoring games. It's just nice to see ample scoring chances. I'm still shocked that St. Louis and Chicago went so deep into overtime. That was not a locked down defensive battle. Isn't 'locked down' a great way to sound like you are saying something of substance, when you are really engaging in the laziest of hockey clichés?
How are Minnesota or Colorado supposed to compete with San Jose / LA / Chicago / St. Louis? Flipping back and forth between games was a preview of a second round sweep. (Note: I'll definitely be wrong on this. But it felt that way).
Bryzgalov finds a way to lose in the playoffs again. That's massively unfair, but still true. It wasn't his fault, but it must become a tangible burden eventually--even for spaceman Bryz.
Why haven't the Bruins / Wings played yet? I might have to adopt the B's for this Cup run. This hurts, being a Canucks fan, but GO IGGY!!!!
Is Brad Richards the modern day Luc Robitaille? Most of his skill set is pretty mediocre, except for the part where he scores lots and lots of goals. (Luc, you are welcome for implying your skating was as good as 'mediocre').
How did a team under Coach V give up so few shots?
The Stanley Cup playoffs have two--count them, one, two---players from Port McNeill. Willie Mitchell and Clayton Stoner are from this northern Vancouver Island town of 2500 people. This isn't that remarkable I guess, just a shout-out to my old hood.
