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?

I know injuries are never really an excuse, because everyone is banged up at this point, but I know they definitely took a toll on your team. The last time I saw a LOT of Kesler was the Olympics, and he looked like a different man back then compared to the Kesler who showed up this round. Overall I still think the majority of blame is going to fall on the goalie when you give up 4 goals a game- especially a guy like Luongo, because his track record doesn't blow you away and he's making bank.
As for who to root for, I see only two acceptable teams. Montreal and San Ho. Montreal being an 8 seed, about to knock of Cindy, and they're Canadian- that makes sense. The Sharks can get some vengeance and kill off the Blackhawks, and, hey, we're pretty awesome to boot

Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
