Adam Banks is a tough cover guys.... Going to a real difficult matchup.

Seriously though they have size, depth, and a legit elite level goalie whom is playing terrific right now. I'm more concerned with us playing offense then us expelling defensive chops all game.... We are going to have to win sideline and dump in battles if we are going to even have a shot here guys

I have a bad feeling about today (not the series). I just want a split at the least heading back to the UC. The long layoff scares me.

This is definitely the matchup I was hoping to avoid. When we're at our best we can beat anyone, but we're going to have to play at our best if we're going to have a chance at taking this series.

Our D needs to realize too that they're basically playing with 4 guys now and they can't rely on Timmo or Rundblad.

Guys Runblad was awful.... Timmonen is slow.... And Vermette gives us a nice face off percentage and that is it...... We are suffering after all those bad deals as I said

I thought Kruger played well

Isn't it time to give up on Shaw in the crease? He is a pit bull but a small one and against getzlaff or any of their guys really he is useless

That Richards goal was insane I was shocked for about 5 minutes at that skill... He has to be one of the better bad angle goal scorers I've ever seen.

Tuevo looked like an all star the first half of the game then didn't play as much? Not sure. But he was just amazing those first 20-30 minutes.

Overall we lost because they had the better goalie guys plain and simple. Sheeran can play..... You see what I did there

You mentioned removing Shaw from the crease, but who else do we have that could be that presence in front of net for us? How's Bickell going? Is he back to his usual stepping it up in the playoffs?
