Some of you (like Myst for example) seem to have completely zoned out on the concept of the underdog winning. Can some of you seriously not recall when this situation in hockey has occured and the team least likely to succeed ends up taking it all?
And when a lead goalie is taken out I don't so easily give up hope. The backup goaltenders are NHL quality or they wouldn't be there. There's no reas whatsoever why one of them can't step up and surprise everyone with some solid net-minding.
Nope, I'm not betting on this series, my original post isn't so overconfindent and smug (like some others in this thread are), I still say it's any team's game. Edmo played an amazing first two periods last night, if they can continue to play like that and keep that momentum up they do have a shot at this.
That said, I will add that I am so looking forward to game 2. This series is off to one hell of a start, I hope it continues at this pace. :D

tell me do you have a clue what you are talking about or do you just spew out shit right out of your ass
2004 Tampa Bay Lightning John Tortorella Calgary Flames Darryl Sutter 4-3
2003 New Jersey Devils Pat Burns Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Mike Babcock 4-3
2002 Detroit Red Wings Scotty Bowman Carolina Hurricanes Paul Maurice 4-1
2001 Colorado Avalanche Bob Hartley New Jersey Devils Larry Robinson 4-3
2000 New Jersey Devils Larry Robinson Dallas Stars Ken Hitchcock 4-2
1999 Dallas Stars Ken Hitchcock Buffalo Sabres Lindy Ruff 4-2
1998 Detroit Red Wings Scotty Bowman Washington Capitals Ron Wilson 4-0
1997 Detroit Red Wings Scotty Bowman Philadelphia Flyers Terry Murray 4-0
1996 Colorado Avalanche Marc Crawford Florida Panthers Doug MacLean 4-0
not once, i repeat, not ONCE did the underdog win in any of the above. and frankly 1996 is as far as i bothered to check the standings for in the regular season, but the streak probably goes on further.
please, go put a ton of money on edmonton. you deserve to have it lost |
