Carolina swept the Senators with Frederik Anderson in net, and if he is ready to go, I see no reason for them to change that. Checking probable starting goaltenders from various stat sites, most have Anderson as "Likely". Again, no surprise. It worked against Ottawa, they are figuring should work against Philadelphia
@Alexandron Joel Eriksson-Ek will be key, I believe, to the Wild's success. He may not have had the best of seasons, but his style of play, the way he just irritates the hell out of the other team, his propensity to get in and around the goal crease, and if a team DOES underestimate him, […]

Vaz played his best game last game in Montreal. I wouldn’t count the Sabres out if Montreal wins either. Suzuki and or Caufield must connect , score for Canadians to steal game 7. Can Vaz play another great game? Tampa is suspect on D and not having Hedman is big. I hear he could play? […]

As everyone sees, you can change horses mid-stream. Tortorella takes the reins from Cassidy very late in the season, and leads his new charges in Vegas to victory in six. Looked good for Utah early, playing Game 4 at home up 2-1 in the series. Alas, the playoff newcomers’ first taste of post-season is three […]
