Will SJ win it all? Will they even make the Finals?

That 'crap'--as you put it--is Luongo, Lundqvist and any other hot goalie you care to name.

Elite teams are foiled by hot goalies in the playoffs all the time. Suggest you go back and check your history on this one, Cap'n.

Luongo couldn't get past the Ducks. Lundqvist didn't get the Rangers very far last season either. It does happen for sure but to have a top performer in the Regular season go out early again isn't about a Hot goalie.

As I said...elite teams are foiled in the playoffs by hot goaltenders all the time. A regular and frequent occurence...to be more precise.

How often is the same Elite team foiled repeated in succession?

Now I'm not sure. They needed to wake the diddle up night before last - and they pulled it off. If they lose tonight there's no coming back...if they win? It's gonna be serious business.

Fight!
