Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 4 Canes @ Habs 5/27 8:00

Mike's call of the Aho goal last night got him yet another play of the day on the Dan Patrick Show. This may be number 4 for this playoff run.

Overall, I've been happy with the entire D corp this playoff season. Boom wasn't really himself after the concussion, but he looked more confident last night.

Nikishin found his legs again in Game 3 and then took off last night. That concussion took a bigger toll on him than anybody has been willing to discuss. But with all three pairings firing, the D has done what it was designed to do.

And that’s something else nobody seems to want to talk about yet. Carolina’s D group had what? 25 games together where everybody was mostly fully functional? Something like that. Miller missed camp with a knee injury and tweaked it a couple of times early in the fall. Slavin missed camp with whatever it is they’re not talking about (it was a knee injury) and then re-injured it a couple of games into the regular season. He may have come back to play his way into game shape before the Olympics, but it was fully March before he started to move comfortably enough to do all the Slavin things. Ghost was in and out of the lineup all season with a groin problem. Nikishin is a rookie and was going through all the normal rookie stuff. Chatfield and Walker had relatively normal seasons, but they’re the only ones, and they are essentially support staff in this setup. When that 6 man unit is firing, this is a different team and they can be effective doing all sorts of different things with their schemes.

I could not help but see flashbacks of the past two years worth of ECF's when the Canes were bitch slapped around by Florida and looked so frustrated and defeated...that was what Montreal looked like last night.

Funny, I told my wife that last night. I said this looks eerily familiar...like exactly.....except we were the ones playing like Montreal did last night.
 
And then fans and pundits say: But the games were close. Some went to OT. We’re really close. …. No, you’re not. Not that it will assuredly take several seasons to close that gap. But you’re not close right now.

You do realize the refs have been cheating for the Canes the whole series right?
