I didn't dislike Lavi as a coach. Were you really comfortable with our third pairing against that stacked Hawks team?
- PhillySportsGuy

No but they had to play some more. By game 4 Pronger and Timmonen were completely burned out.

How does that impact Quebec, Louisiana, and cafes?
- wolfhounds


100% of Quebec as well. I have nothing against Louisiana more than any other Southern state.

when the team lets the other skate freely (frank)ING HIT THEM

Fine. But when you're up 5-2 with 6 minutes left and the other team is just getting the puck after a dump in, "HITTING HIM!" shouldn't be your sole focus on the ice.

They were still 1 OT goal away from a Game 7.

I can't stand the superiority complex of the french. It's almost as bad as mine.

That's too far away. They need to win it all.

Agreed. But there was a 50/50 chance in Game 6. Leighton let that goal in, which was awful. If he makes that stop (which he will 99% of the time), who knows.

yes but when a team is just controlling the ice you need to break up their momentum and ability to run circles around the ice

If you're up 5-2 with 6 minutes left, your #1 thought should be playing air tight defense, not "I need to nail the next guy I see," regardless of momentum. A stick check or the use of positioning to force the player into a position of weakness are much easier to do that to lay a big open-ice hit.

Jeff Chychrun's son is going to be the #1 pick in the OHL draft. I hope he's got more talent than his dad, whose career highlight was getting KO'ed by Randy McKay.

You're suggesting that he knows the difference.

I wouldn't go that far.
