Well game 7 for all the marbles. Great W, Like Hyman said the Oil have to complete the story.
COMPLETE the story.
One for the ages.
Slightly OT, but you just described one of my favorite parts about this Cup run: the focus and determination of these players to stay humble and not count chickens before they hatch.
One of my worst memories from 2006 (second only to losing the Cup and Roli getting hurt) was Raffi Torres' interview after the Game 6 shutout at Rexall. When asked about the Canes, his reply to the media was, "I think we've got them right where we want them."
That was the moment where I instinctively knew that we wouldn't be ready for Game 7. And sure enough, the Canes shut us right down.
Very thankful for how this group has steered clear of that airhead mentality for the most part. Definitely think they flirted with it at the beginning of the SCF when they were joking about Mario Kart and being a little too loose for my liking. But they've tightened it up ever since then.
