Be curious to hear what you thought of the series. Underperformers, etc.
I just get the feeling that Luo has developed the same sort of Nabokov aura about him- one that I'm all too familiar with. Great regular season, a gamer who can eat 70+ starts in a great regular season... Then either falters or is outplayed in the postseason.

It was gonna be a tough run through the playoffs this year with some pretty legit player injuries. Of course the anchor of our Blue Line, Willie Mitchel was not playing...Bieksa, was coming back after missing months, Salo ruptured his testicle last game, Edler was injured this game. I made an assumption that from the beginning of these playoffs, Kes was injured. He hadnt played his game, he wasnt finishing checks, he wasnt going as hard to the corners, and its now known he was playing with a shoulder injury that I assume was pretty legit. I do believe Lou was underwhelming these playoffs. His consistancy wasnt there, and I dont know if his confidence was either. Another huge blow to the team was missing Ryan Johnson...the bravest/best shot blocker on the team who was only back for the last few games, and who knows how injured he still was. We'll see how next year pans out...and I dont know who to cheer for now..Boston maybe? Montreal?
