If I'm Hags, Kreids, Zucc, or MSL watching this, I'm salivating at the breakaways we are going to get.
Ok here we go with the "these teams are not that great" posts even though they have won 3 of the past 4 cups with very similar rosters that's playing today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think you may undervalue the Kings a little 31. They are a very good, big, deep team. As I have said from the start, as most have said from the start of this series, pick your poison. These are the last 2 SC winners for a reason. Most everyone I have seen has said we rather play the Hawks, and I agree due to them being more of a speed skill team than a big physical team, and I think that is a better matchup for us, but again flip a coin really. This is not like last round when it wasn't even close...we were much better off playing the Habs by far. This is a flip a coin kind of deal. Both excellent teams. One bigger and deeper. One more skilled and faster. I do think if the Kings win the positive I see there is another 7 game series for them, 3 in these playoffs, traveling back to LA from Chicago, and Staples is just not a big home ice advantage as we see with the Kings 5-4 playoff record there. Should be an interesting 3rd period.
Dis, would you be willing to say they are 2 great teams that are not playing great at this point in the season?
Well I will say Popadoc that the goalies don't look great tonight. But there is a reason Crawford, for example, (who isn't as good as Quick IMO and others) is 16-2 in games 5-7 in his career These teams both know how to win series in the playoffs. I know you don't think that matters from year to year but in my opinion it does I will be surprised if the Kings don't tie it and we go to OT
And there it is.....Gaborik with another goal. Crawford is giving up tons of rebounds. We saw that vs Tokarski too though. This is headed to OT Kings very resilient
I think both of these teams are playing well they are in the WCF Popodoc. I would say both goalies look very shaky tonight. I would also say you could say the same thing about the Rangers after g5 vs the Habs
