channel 65 Comcast in my town. I don't subscribed, not to my knowledge anyway. Not going to happen tonite. B's looked a little flat early and Ward was fantastic. Oh well I said 7 games so they can loose 2 more.

Canes' goalie was amazing. Sucks that the B's lost but fun to watch him. You had to appreciate it.

Ward stood on his head but the B's missed some open nets too. Disallowed goal was a goal. I still say B's in 5....

B's were flat- a stride behind most of the night, 'canes played a little desperate- their goalie made some phenom saves. B's in 6...

You know it was bound to happen as far as a slow down on the B's part. I think they still take it in 6.

I think B's in 6 as well. You have to expect the canes will take a couple on wards hot goal tending. I think we will get at least one win while in NC.
I think they thought they could win without playing 100%..I mean after all we took them 5 games in a row and we didn't play all that well in the first playoff game. Why come out with everything if you don't need to. But I think the message got thru in game 2.
I look for a much more physical game by the B's...the Canes don't play physical we can pound them pretty good, and make them hesitate a little when heading into the corners and up the walls...but we have to stay out of the box. We need more up-tempo play like the 3rd period of the last game and we need good hard checks by the big b's.
Should be a good game tonight. They will be into the game tonight.
IMO Versus is doing a decent job with the playoffs. NBC was good too. Tonight we are NSSN.
My worry is the Caps...I hope they Pens beat up the caps good and Ovi gets an upper angel sprain or something. As good as he is, I don't care for his style of play. He just loops the circles and wait for the feed and shoots on everything. He has a great shot but someone has to slam is ass hard and knock him down a few times. He dishes it out but he rarely gets touched.

Ovechkin is a very physical player. Next time you're watching the Caps, focus on him when he doesn't have the puck. He doesn't get touched much because he avoids it, but he isn't shy about putting the hurt on the other guy. He is a lot tougher than he gets credit for. In this series, keep an eye on him when he's on the ice with Malkin. There is some bad blood there and Ovechkin isn't shy about going after him.
As for the B's, I think they'll be fine. They play well on the road and as good as Ward is, it will be tough for him to keep standing on his head the way he did on Sunday. I'd like to see the B's play a little more physical, too. When they do that, it creates scoring opportunities. |
