This is the game I believe. There has been a lot of panic in here since the game 4 L, and I get it on some level. It is VERY frustrating to continue to get beat in games where we can take a 2 game lead in a series. Game 2 and game 4 we had a chance to put the hammer down, but failed both times.
In honest reality though, if we win today we are in great shape. In honest reality we are where most thought we would be, tied 2-2 with home ice for a best of 3. Yes most experts picked us, but they did so in 7, and maybe a few in 6, and I bet just about every single one of them had this series tied 2-2.
So we are where many thought we would be. We are in a great spot if we win today. BUT make no mistake about it, I feel we really MUST win today. If we don't we'd be in big trouble as they would have won 3 of 4, and would be 2-0 with Mason in net as they go home to try and elminate us.
So simply put a HUGE game today. One I am confident we will win, but quite honestly am not as confident as I would like to be. There is a part of me that has this feeling that Philly is sitting on this big effort, and we will be a little flat after the L in game 4. Reading some of the comments of how the guys looked in the locker room after the game concerns me a touch. Hopefully they are over that, and the crowd can lift them as well.
Huge game today. No reason to panic right now. This is when home ice starts to matter, game 5 and on. Protect our home ice, play a strong game today, get a win, and we are in great shape to win this if we are up 3-2 with game 7 at MSG in our back pocket if needed.
