Thanks for sharing your experience and the symptoms involved. I knew clots were something not to f*** around with but never really knew what the onset symptoms were.
Gretz picked the Flames to beat the Oil 2 years ago. The legends have forsaken us.
That's just it.
Will the officials try to be the "great evener"?
I've had pre game anxiety since game 1 of first round25 hours till puck drop and I've already got pre-game anxiety.
It’s game 7, you really think ‘lazy over-confidence’ is an issue here?
Who cares we have dominated the Canucks PP with r pk. In all honesty if I was knoblach I would tell the guys to take a penalty where the Canucks have to much pressure to regain momentum off r Penalty kill kinda like hack a Shaq
Yeah. It's subconscious
That's another factor. Our PK better be on point. So far the Nucks crowd has been all over the refs, and I think it has affected them
No, but I've seen over and over how huge a factor sports psychology is. The Canucks losing Boeser is a lot more than losing a stat machine like in a video game
This gang has shown a penchant for being tentative/ complacent, not starting the game right at puck drop numerous times this season and even seasons past. It seems that sometimes they don’t get engaged until they’ve had a few questionable goals get scored on them and the hole is dug. It’s its hard to shake the feeling.
Most guys are shitting bricks, even if they don’t say so.
Plus I don't think it's all about desire. I don't see why they would make sure to show up for game 7, but not show up in game 5 and get pushed to the brink of elimination.
It can become that if you feel that the opponent has lost a key member. A type of “sit back, we got this”, attitude. Right?
But theres never enough sample of game 7's by any one team to ever really know how any team responds under the adversity of them. While age old thought would posit that experience is a deciding factor in such games I don't know that theres ever been evidenced based substantiation of the same.
Yeh PP1 is due for huge game 7. Thought they looked fine in game 6, generated plenty just couldn’t bury one. Game 5 we looked disjointed. Neither game showed the true quality of our PP, we’ll see it in Game 7.
If we are using terms like complacent, then it's splitting hairs. I mostly agree with TheNumber4 that we need totally disregard the Boeser thing. The reason that is the important and mature thing is because it is a trap where it is a distraction that might get into the head of the team in some way.
Maybe in a game 1 or 2, but after getting beat 3 times and heading for a game 7 I don’t buy it.
