I’ve been watching the MTL-OTT series, so haven’t seen much of the Pens vs. Islanders ... But despite how good you think your offense is, you can’t leave the floodgates open in the Playoffs.
The viciousness on the ice will be matched by the Montreal press & fans, and Therrien may join Bylsma if he doesn’t stop the bleeding pronto. Price being hurt doesn’t help; he was being seriously outplayed by the Sens’ Anderson, but even when he was more on his game the Habs (and backup G Budaj) managed to gift-wrap a win for Ottawa.
I thought I was going crazy, but the Islanders apparently have guys named “Streit” and “Strait.”
but they have that sticking point about the coach needing to speak french, so they better think twice about tossing him! Randy Cunneyworth was reviled for being an anglo last year, and he was the dad of one of xsboy’s SU hockey teammates, so we were rooting for him to be able to stay.
