Well if you say 10% out of your *** then it must be true.
He hasn't been able to all season, which is a worry. Posters observed he was not in great physical shape coming out of pre-season and he really hasn't gotten that much better. This makes me wonder how significant the injury from the Wilson smash really was. And if not that, what the issue really is.
Panarin playing "better" is an admittedly low bar. He played terrible the first two series. I think his injury at the end of the regular season carried over. My guess is that it was a groin injury.
I expected TB to play well in the beginning of game 1 just from adrenaline from getting back into game action and then to fizzle out as the game settled in, which is more or less what happened. I am just not at all confident getting into a best of 3 with TB having won the last two games. I think tonight's winner will win the series.
you say asinine and I say it is a probability. if they lose tongiht it is probably going 7, so you want to bet on nyr to be playing 21 games in three series and winning three game 7s? not likely. I would expect a repeat of what happened the last time these teams met in the game 7 of a conference finals (result, not score). losing back to back games to blow and 2-0 series lead and then have to win a best of three against these guys while looking at 20 or 21 games played in 3 series is daunting, it isnt asinine to think that way, it is realistic...
The probability of NYR winning three 7 game series is only high before they win one and then the second. Just like rolling three 4's on a six sided die is 216 to one, but once you roll the first two 4's the odds of rolling the third goes to 6 to one... We already won two game 7's that doesn't make our odds of winning the third one any worse.
This is not a must win. This is obvious. Losing this we still hold court. And head home where we play really well and are very tough to beat. Momentum or not, Tampa can't keep up with us. They are too slow when we play our game. And we always come to play at MSG.
10% is a fake number. There is literally 0 statistical analysis to back this up. In fact, I'd guess that if you looked into teams that win the first 2 at home and then lost the next 2 on the road, still probably come out >50% of the time. So it's very likely that 50/50 is closer to the actual odds versus your absurd, pessimistic number.
Depends who they sub in for Strome. Praying it's Blais, but assuming it would be Rooney, which is horrendous. I'd rather have Brod or Hunt if Blais can't go. And you can either move Motte up, or just insert Hunt with Copp & Bread.
It's not Blais. It will be Rooney. It should be Hunt.
Ill have what you are having..make it a double!
Lavoie reported he came out, tried to skate at full speed and left. He didn't just leave early, he only lasted a few minutes. That, to me at least, sounds like a very quick answer to the question on whether or not he can go. Maybe I'm wrong.
