It is not games 5, 6 or 7 so that doesn't count :)

+1 massive modifiers for a player who massively modified his game in OT ... again!

I was thinking more of the league perception of how the Oilers are a top contender. With lower tier starting goaltending, I simply don't see it. Oddsmakers sure disagree with me. But, having said that, in my opinion, bad goaltending is not the reason they find themselves where they do. As much...

That includes backups. League average for starters is a little north of that (roughly I get .902) so he's near the bottom.

Me too. A speed line that can pounce after he gives away a stupid turnover. Pressure Domi - everybody knows what is too often coming. The only tricky part is too often nobody can predict where it is going or make sense of it. I was getting very frustrated with him in these first two playoff...

Apparently, they're not picking up the expense for Joe & Jim to travel to Ottawa to do the radio broadcast. They have to do it from monitors in Toronto. The cheapest tickets now cost hundreds of dollars - so much now, they may not have sold out a playoff game against Ottawa The increase in...

I think the coaching situation is different. I know it was reported as 'mutual' but the vibe I got when you heard Jeff Jackson and Holland talk about it was Holland got pushed out. Exhibit A was he had no destination or plans and didn't convince with the 'mutual' claim. He joined NHL Hockey...

Hope it goes 7 ... :)

Team gets within a goal of a Stanley Cup ... and they cut the GM loose. I'm trying to recall if I've seen that before. Haven't thought of another instance.

I'm no big fan of Skinner but of the 11 goals against in the two games, none were soft. There were only two where I thought one could have some legitimate criticism of how Skinner played it. Between the penalties and poor team defense, the Oilers are getting killed. They miss Ekholm But they're...

Not as much run and gun tonight but more room than would be ideal. Caps were the better team in the first two periods. Habs were the better team in the 3rd I think (not positive) Habs shot attempts were 70 to the Caps 61 Caps with the empty net goal with a second left to win 3-1 Habs will go...

Watched the OT goal a few times. Often Benoit will go for a skate but he tends to cut out about halfway to the goal to get back on D. Last night, that was not the case. The smothering screen (and jump) by Benoit was brutal timing for Ullmark. He couldn't see it. A few other observations...

41 2 Bieksa called Benoit the best #6 dman in the league ... (I don't know about that but he's been playing pretty well for a while after a rough first half)

Right here. I appreciate the goal - very much: BIG goal!! I don't hate him. For a guy whose forte is supposedly passing the puck, he can be downright, repeatedly bad at it. He has been in these first two games. Watching him, he made me wonder what his hockey IQ or hockey sense was. It is like...

That Domi goal will piss some old Sens fans off ...

Domi is a mess - he cannot reliably pass the puck

Ottawa: no shots on goal after half the 3rd

I doubt that is his game plan. They have to look at alternate ways to recover the pucks and alternate paths to exit the zone. Wherever Ottawa is, there have to openings/weaknesses in their coverage.

That approach won't work against Tampa or Florida who have more finish
