Definitely.

All eyes on Luongo again? His LA series was a little up and down, but then he did poor to stop those 'Hawks for the second year in a row. I don't know if he was pulled at all during this game, so it's an estimate (assuming he played full 60), but 3.52 GAA in the series with an .897 SV%. D has been banged up, but that doesn't cut it.

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?

Montreal, I mean they were the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup back in like... '93 if I'm not mistaken.

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

Unreal. The Montreal win, and a Game 7 after a 3-0 deficit for Philly. I was a bit nervous after the higher seeded teams stormed out early, but these all shaped up to be suitable matchups.

I can't figure out where Game 7 is. Is it at TD?

If thats the game, the flyers are done for.

Guess we are rooting for MTL. Tough BOS loss, huge rally for philly.
