Hi guys....
What happened?
1. Potvin didn't let six goals by.
2. Wendel and Andreychuk woke up.
3. Home ice and LOTS of yelling in the Gardens gave the Leafs
the emotional edge.
4. Refs calls (especially last night) tended to favour Leafs.
A couple of comments:
1. On Gilmour: Just because the guy isn't one of the three
stars doesn't mean he was not leading the team. Someone posted
the playoff point total and he's in something like fifth or sixth
place....plus, he walked away with the Molson cup (given for
accumulating points from the three star selection) during the
regular season.
2. On the officiating: I've heard gripes from both ends on this
one. Emotions are very high in this series; the rivalry is
one of the stronger ones I know of. I do have to agree that the
officiating last night was pro-Leaf in general (except for whoever
missed that slash on Gilmour's hand).
3. In general: I STILL think Detroit has one of the better
chances vs. Pittsburgh (though I think the Leafs would do better
against the Blues....but not as well if they made it out of the
division). Problem is, I like both these teams, though I'm
supporting the Leafs on the underdog principle. D
By the way...Gilmour tiring out is a lot like Bob Probert not
playing aggressive hockey....
By the way....I'm not any sort of expert, nor do I claim to be.
I just like watching a good matchup.
tee hee hee...ooops!
