Series Talk: ECFs Discussion - Rod: Game 5 is gonna be a doozy!

I'll give you the Slavin point. But that d-core isnt good from a defensive point of view. Burns has never been good defensively and especially now at age 64. Ghost is an offensive d who is mistake prone. Orlov is old and not great at this point in his career probably belongs on the 3rd pair or retired. Nikishin is without a doubt ultra talented but hes a rookie. Sean Walker = who?
I hope your right, but I expect a long tight series, if it's not then even better for us.

Any of the teams left can win it all.

I'm not trying to sound arrogant but, this team just doesn't look talented on paper. Beyond the first line, you have a very very very average talent level. I know they play a good structured game, but if I were doing an on paper analysis, I would say the Panthers kill this team in 4-5 games. If Barkov and Reino shut down the top line as they often do, they will be relying on Roslovic, and an aging Staal? Slavin is good on defense, but the rest of that d-core is also very very average. Jury is out on Nikishin? What am I missing here?
Yikes wtf how are they still playing this time of year?

Anyone notice right away that Berube avoided looking Maurice in the eye/face when shaking hands?

Even though i may feel a bit more respect toward some of these names, I'm coming to the same conclusion. Both teams we faced were far better than both teams they faced too.
This is ours to lose at this point.
