some tough love, but also a recognition that he needs more intensive help, I imagine.
My recollection as well.

Maybe he needs help. Some call me wok. I lean right. But people have some deamons. Some make excuses. Some attack it. Important for all to look at both. Lift those up who are trying. But give tough love. They need it. They want it.
back to hockey. Winning matters!

Jeez these final 8 teams are all putting up a fight (except Colorado which is pissing me off).
Boston fought back - hopefully they lose next game.
Canes fighting back - would love to see them reverse sweep the Rags.
Oilers and Canucks much closer series than I thought it would be. Definitely a smart move giving Pickard the start tonight.
I think Colorado are toast. They have looked awful the last couple of games and Dallas seem to know exactly how to shut them down now.

Avs got away from playing good team defense, and Kuemper/Francouz were better than Gorgiev has shown.
A lot of dumb teams in the NHL nowadays in regard to keeping it tied or holding a lead very late in the game.Oilers pooping the bed late in period.
Nevermind, goal!

I see Knoblauch has some balls and actually plays the better goalie on the team! Will be interesting how the Canucks adjust.

I don't think Georgiev was the problem in game 4. A lot of Avs fans were saying he was the ONLY one who played well and his team's heads were somewhere else - gee I wonder where?
Dallas seem to be very well coached and are able to play that awful trapping style that stops teams getting decent o-zone time. It helps that Oettinger is playing really well also - after having a shaky few games against Vegas.
I don't think Pickard is a better goalie than Skinner?? But playoff nerves can wreak havoc with some of these starting goalies. I think a lot of the time you'll see a backup / rookie etc get an opportunity and they really shine. Silovs is doing it in Vancouver. Pickard was good tonight but save percentage of .900 isn't setting the world on fire either.
