you know guys, they don't automatically win just by deciding to "play the trap." Sometimes, the trap doesn't work. It is possible to beat it...you have to be able to get pucks into their zone and have the speed to retrieve them. And since any of your lines can do it if they are capable, and since we can benefit from good matchups on home ice - having 4 actual dangerous lines is huge. Their worst players have to be on the ice some of the time...
We need to start game 6 on time. If our first period looks anything like the one we had today, things could get ugly in a hurry.

I just can’t believe this! I did not expect this at all.
What I don’t get is why Nashville stopped playing the trap right from the start of the second period even before we scored.
It looked a lot more like Nashville stopped playing the trap than it did that we figured out how to beat it.
Am I wrong?
They aren't a natural trap team. They were the President trophy winner. They are a top 7 team scoring team and has very offensively skilled defense. While they can adapt to a hard trap they know they aren't going to win the cup living by the trap. They aren't the mid 90's Devils.

TSN is SO much better than CBC
Some say that they need to stay neutral. I completely disagree. We are Canada’s only team left and they should be Homers. They would be if it was the Leafs.
But they aren’t even Neutral. They literally seem to be cheering for Nashville.
Absolutely ridiculous.

I agree with this-- and to top it all off -you have to listen to Don Cherry --the guy is an idiot !!! not much "above the shoulders"-- I can't stand the guy !!! Good for the 12 year old audience though--they relate to him.

It might be an overswung pendulum eg, trying so very hard not to appear to be rooting for the Canadian team in this case. My 0.02
