I wish you would stop saying the Jacket's are stealing these games. Having a tender that makes a difference is part of the game. The Jackets are earning these games. C'MON MAN.

Completely agree with this. Also, I look forward to the day that so many writers stop acting like Corsi is the only thing that matters. High-end finishing ability matters-see last year CBJ vs. Pittsburgh. More importantly, idiots like Tom Wilson taking stupid penalties matter. Willingness to block shots matters. Not giving up a 5 on 2 matters. But lately there are a bunch of folks that are ready to bench a guy because his Corsi is 48%, and give the Hart to someone who is 53%-without regards to matchups, zone starts, etc. Oh-and goaltending really matters.
Hockey has a bunch of parts to it, which is what helps make it great. It isn't that simple.
