The Eastern Conference series continues on for at least one more game!
Merry Tuesday! Get back to work.
That’s what it feels like, anyway.
Anyway, Boston’s prospects and players have settled in for the offseason, and we’re still awaiting the announcement of a new coach signing, but the Eastern Conference championship finally found Rod Brind’Amour re-acquiring the Corsi Button and smashing that thing through the dashboard in order to beat the Panthers for the first time in a good long while; first in 12 kicks at this particular can. Thus, we got a Game 5 looming on Wednesday for that series. I said this was probably a dead cat bounce last time, but hey! Maybe they figured something out and suddenly we have a series in danger of going seven! That’d be a nice change of pace!
I know that there’s not really much of a chance for the Canes given that they have San Jose disease…but man wouldn’t it be funny if the Cats blew it here. Here of all times. The Canes defeat their demons as dramatically as possible.
Tonight however? Dallas/Edmonton. Let’s see if Tyler Seguin and his band of merry men can even things up against the Oilers. That game’s on at 8pm tonight, and there’s hope that Roope Hintz might play!
I dunno if he’s the final antidote for “The Oilers decided it was time to kill you now”, but every little bit helps at this point! Dallas only very recently took full control of the possession game, so any help in that department will hopefully make peppering Skinner with shots easier.
So! What’s on tap?
