More 5G Than Man
I'm trying to give Q the benefit of the doubt, but I think the quality of Vermette and Teravainen's play tonight is more evidence of game 3 being a mistake than those two having "fresh legs" tonight.
The Hawks have a lot of heart.
Hawks have the most heart in the game, in #19......
Crawford was playing too far out of the goal again and we lost, I mean, what else is new? Those last two goals were both scored because he was near the edge (actually one of them he was completely outside of) the crease.
The two reasons why they lost:
1. The entire first period.
2. Bickell is a dipshit. Crawford was far out because he couldn't imagine anyone being stupid or lazy enough to dump the puck off the way he did.
6 giveaways in the first period. 0 shots in the first 13 minutes. I think we lost something like 8 faceoffs in a row. That's an utter embarrassment on every level. Not SCF caliber, that's for sure. If Q had dumped Crawford, he should have dumped a number of others first.
I know the Ducks still won, but Andersen turned in one of the worst goaltending performances I've ever seen last night.
Cool under pressure (usually)....reminds me a bit of Price.
I always find it funny when people say this. Price had the exact opposite reputation all the way back to Junior until the Olympics. One tournament and it's a near-universal complete 180 on the guy.
nevermind.............not lookin very cool in that 3 goal stretch. Good news however for someone w/o a horse in the race.....2 game 7's looks pretty sweet. Lots to go in this one still though . ....True enough, but he has been solid all playoffs. Cool under pressure (usually)....
Agree to disagree, Dave. I've been watching him since the beginning. He won a Calder Cup when he was 19. Has he had hiccups? Sure, but his playing style has always been described as being cool, almost to the point of nonchalance.
