I don't want them to roll over either but I've seen this story played all to many times in the playoffs over the last 10 years. ( outside of the caps series)

How's aboot during that series against Boston when we were down 3-0 in the series and down 3-0 in game 7?

Regardless, this is a new team under a new coach. Plenty of player turnover. No need to rely on the history of 10 years to predict what this team will do tonight. If you want to use the past 5 games as an indicator, be my guest. You'll likely reach the same conclusion

Jagr close to re-signing with the Devils for 1 year around 5 million.

Guy is still a great mentor, and a beast at hanging on to the puck but that's a lot of money.

Very different teams, but know what imo caused the turn of that series?

The Richards hit on Krejci. Nobody wants an injury to a player, but Rinaldo and others need to for the first real time this series make the life hard on McDonagh and Stepan.

Rinaldo is rarely out on the ice against McDonagh or Stepan.

See "and". "Others".

Although, again. A little disturbing you cant trust your apparent sparkplug and best open ice hitter for one shift against the other teams top guys?

Kind of useless for him to be putting the bruises on Dorsett.

No need to send Rinaldo on a mission. Players like Hartnell, Simmonds, Schenn, Coots, etc.; can make life hard on those guys with the same style of play they were employing over the regular season.

It's funny, yet true. This team doesn't need to do anything amazing or out-of-character to get a win tonight (and tomorrow). They just need to cut down on the mental errors. They've pretty much been in every game this series, and my "eye test" is clearly picking up on the fact that this team isn't playing as well as they were in March.

Because if he was they would score a goal pretty quickly.

If they lose tonight, I'm blaming Schenn, Grossmann, Mason, Emery, Bryz, Gervais, Homer, Berube, Lavi, Stevens, Carle and BingoLady.

Good point. All in all I wasn't expecting much in the post season. Would like to see them take the next step next year and be more consistent.

Im just kidding. I've slept behind the bar. Its really not that big of a deal. Just need to find your spot before the other hobos get there. Its a first come first sleep basis.

Nobody remember when Vinny wasn't injured and was leading this team in everything.
People will be pissed when it's announced Vinny has multiple injuries including a bad back.
