this game felt awfully reminiscent of game 4 up 3-0 vs toronto, team didnt show up to close it out. Eventually closed it in the next game but just seems for w/e status quo to drag it out.
Hope this team isnt sick again with the ekblad flu again
I hope so. Just watched the highlights and it looked like we basically allowed Boston to play their game as opposed to ours, particularly in the first period. And all kudos to them, they did. We got better but were not able to solve the problem that is Swayman. Grrrr - hate Swayman. Bob was good though and I'm trying to tell myself that it's a good thing that he was tested more this game: he's had a light workload the last few games and could be getting rusty...
Anyway, it's a huge shame we weren't able to close out this game but then I initially predicted us winning in 6 so hopefully that still stands. We still have more talent and we definitely play better with more intensity - so let's hope we bring that on Friday. Perhaps the boo-ing by Boston will wake us up! Glad though to get through a game without scrums and fights: I was seriously worried about injuries.
Note: I knew we weren't getting that goal called back after all the noise the last few days. I'm hoping that that shuts up the commentators that both teams have now had critical goals stands. At least it feels that we're taking it with a lot more grace and not using that to make excuses.
