Heres some quotes from the local papers

"Eddie Lack will be the Canucks starter in Game 1.

Is that so hard?

One goalie is injured, and one is not.

One has played 21 of the past 22 and put up a .924 save percentage, facing 31.8 shots per game. One may play once in seven weeks.

One has two consecutive wins against the L.A. Kings. In those, he made 61 saves on 63 shots.

"Judging by the difficulties Ryan Miller appeared to encounter on his hurry-up comeback attempt Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers, we can only presume the leash on Eddie Lack during the playoffs just got a whole lot longer"

Lack will start game one. Period.

Hes 920% and 1.90gaa since miller went down. They want to win  NOW,not appease a 37 year old past his prime goalie. Yes hes making 6 mill this year and next but money means nothing to ownership and management. Its all about winning in this market.

Thanks for detailed write up. OK the front 7 is good. What about that secondary thou? they have been horrid. They shutdown TEs? Graham was playing hurt all year. Gates went an average 7 catches 83 yards. Speaking of that SD game remember that 4th Q? Balt got shredded for 21 points. Even if they do contain Gronk(unlikely) Brady spreads the ball around as well as anyone.

Im actually a Baltly fan. And were on them in previous years and even last week. But come on the Pats O is just as good as ever while the Balt  secondary is the worst its been in years. Brady is going to have a field day. 

The clock stopped because of a penalty. If not what was their plan

Run the fieldgoal team out there in less than 15secs. Should they have not been kicking the FG on 3rd down

Really cant see anyone else winning it.

CHI- Obv biggest threat but have to question their hunger. What do they have left to prove... nothing. Do they want to go to war with 1 probably both of these teams.

Pitt- Obv Fluery being a huge question mark. Even if he finds his playoff game Pitt has the problem of turning it up to 11 after playing a bunch of cupcakes(Execept Bos)

Bos- Same as above unless they play Pitt with a solid Fluery they will have to ramp it up real quick. Part of their problem in lastyears final.

LA, SJ, Col and TB a step below.

Restricted area is irrelevant, he left his feet to block the shot RT @diplomatdcm: @haralabob correct call in the restricted area?

Chi got outworked outhustled. Det wanted it more and played better as a team.

Nothing to do with the refs.
