It will be a war, that's for sure. Lots of storylines....
Goaltending...Esche hasn't had a good game yet. The ESPN fags are saying ' oh, he played great'. What? He gets beat from every possible angle. High, low, off his glove, 5 hole... At least to score on Khabi you have to have a good shot. Gagne's goal in the third period was the only bad play he has made. The Flyers just capitalized on Lightning turnovers, Sydor's was inexcusable.
I can't believe they fell back into a defensive shell like they did. That is so totally not their style. I think there were some nerves involved. They cannot do that in game 7. If they are up 3-0, they need to think 4-0. Not hold on until 3-2.
I think the Lightning are going to come out in game 7 like they did in game 5 in Tampa and just blitz the Flyers non-stop for the whole game. Esche will give up a couple goals early and then he will be done. The Flyers are running on fumes right now. They are nursing injuries up and down their lineup. The Lightning are completely healthy. As they say in Vegas, the race does not always go to the strongest and the fastest, but that is the way to bet.
I know hockey is over in every town but three at this point but I will tell you, Tampa is electric right now. It feels like when the Bucs are on a playoff run. And we intend on making the Flyers our beeothches just like the Iggles are.
GOOOO LIGHTNING !!!!
