Even guys like Dan Ellis and Theodore played great down the stretch. Throw in the recent play of young 'ens Fleury and Price, and that's a pretty nice list.garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390337286772352264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29664856.post-83209963517196710882008-04-11T04:16:00.000-05:002008-04-11T04:16:00.000-05:00you know what else blows?hockey. these games are d...you know what else blows?<BR/><BR/>hockey. these games are dull as eff.<BR/><BR/>from an outsider's perspective, at least.<BR/><BR/>you know hockey has a problem when you're coming off "rule changes" to open it up yet every game goes under ... and the numbers are 4.5 and 5, with the odd 5.<BR/>the longer the playoffs go, i'm envisioning maybe an o/u of 2.5 or 3 down the road.<BR/><BR/>gotta love the First Goal Wins rule. may as well make it golden goal from the drop of the puck.<BR/><BR/>sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29664856.post-7087248147426095932008-04-10T19:31:00.000-05:002008-04-10T19:31:00.000-05:00no bias here...sears. all this stuff is based on ...no bias here...sears. all this stuff is based on hardcore factual quantitative data...<BR/><BR/>the Senators blow, the Flyers are scum, Don Brennan is a dildo, and Gary Roberts is a playoff god.<BR/><BR/>where's the bias there?<BR/><BR/>:)garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390337286772352264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29664856.post-76573452335548656122008-04-10T17:11:00.000-05:002008-04-10T17:11:00.000-05:00the bias dripping from this page makes me feel lik...the bias dripping from this page makes me feel like i'm reading fp's boston red sox musings.<BR/><BR/>har har har har harAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
