Islanders and Panthers have delayed the inevitable, let's see what we can do.

Glad Ace is in over Jeannot, but more importantly his concussion scare isn't serious

I thought Jeannot has been better than Maroon this series. Pat has been a turnover machine in the ozone.

I think it could go either way. Jeannot has been pretty invisible. He's had a couple chances. A couple good cycles. Only thing he has done is play great physically. Maroon has had quite a few turnovers, but he hasn't been a liability in the Dzone yet and he is noticeable a high percentage of the time he's in the ozone, as well as his physicality. I would rather keep the school bus together since IMO there isn't a big enough gap between their play to take Maroon out

@Rangsey I know one thing though. Cole and Bogo need to be MUCH more effective from here on out. With how much Serge and Raddysh have been playing, Cole and Bogo need to play hard minutes in the D zone and make it hell for Toronto. They haven't done that well enough so far since theyve been paired together

Agreed. We get a good team win here. Then Vasy steals game 6 and who knows.

Aces.


Such an intelligent play. He's got great IQ. Takes a look up ice, finds a lane. Receives the pass, skates hard to the outside and had his mind on the net. If nothing opened 5 hole he was gonna try for the wrap or a back door pass

It's one thing the coaching staff have faith in Raddysh. But you can see the other guys in the lineup aren't afraid to get him the puck either. Compared to Foote where guys would hang onto the puck instead of getting it to him.

Much better defensive game. Played the full 60. Bailed out by Vasy in the final few minutes after the 2nd leaf goal. Great game by him. Team did a good job of not sitting back as the clock winded down in the third. The seed has been planted. One by one boys. Go Bolts!!

I watch, we lose. I don't watch, we win. Catch me tuning in while we're raising the cup.
