Gotta be Stu. If he is weak game 1, Pickard game 2,3 and then back to Mr. Game 4 no matter what :)

That's what I'm thinking. Back to back shutouts has to get you the next game, but the leash will be shorter than ever. Bad game 1, if Pickard is healthy he goes game 2.

Good news all my East Coast friends... we can finally sleep! No more late starts!  (I'm on a chat with some Oiler buds here on the Rock and the average sleep last night was about 4 hours.)
What happened to all of my messages? lol (I guess it's been awhile) BlueSky: StefBarnes

Hooray! I get a week or so to catch up on sleep.
HUGE credit to Knobs coaching these playoffs. Made adjustments, and some ballsy calls with regards to changing the line-up. Guy doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Hopefully the week off gives Ekholm time to get healthy.

Skinner 100 percent. Not sure what the hell happened but he is rolling right now. I wanted him working at Wal Mart, but you have to go with the hot hand. He has been extremely good since returning

This one wasn't so bad. Was it last year that we had a couple of almost midnight starts against LA? (even worse for you with an extra half hour)
I find those West coast games easier when I am in Paris - I just wake up a little earlier before work as opposed to staying up till 3-4AM.

Well - if the series out East go to the teams leading now, we would have home ice should we make it to the finals. Still hoping for Winnipeg to show signs of life and extend their series to 7 games.
What a contrast in feelings this morning heading into the West final versus after game 2 against the Kings.

I'd just got myself used to early morning starts again and now I've got a week off!!!!
Still it's worth it as long as we keep winning.
A bit of rest to get bodies back closer to full fitness, time for Picks and Ecks to get fit enough to play. Things could be worse I suppose.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
