NJ/NY was a more exciting game to watch than Sens/Pens.
The Altitude homers for the Avs are second only to Hayward, that's true. I didn't watch that game, but I"m not surprised it went to OT. Minny can't rely on shootouts and I don't think they're historically very good in the extra period. Taking a game to OT bodes well for the Avs.
I think Calgary has embraced the role of underdog. I've always thought they could eliminate the sharks, but I think I'm the only one. I think these teams are a way closer match than the final standings indicated. I hate to say it, but Ryan Clowe is an excellent guy to have on your team for secondary scoring. He was injured this year and I kinda forgot about him until last night. |
