Disappointed in the urgency and "tenaciousness" of some of our guys. Recall a specific moment when hudler and Monahan were headed into the corner at different angles against a Vancouver d-man that had the puck (perfect moment for a Jones/Hudler double check) and although I didn't expect a huge hit, both guys pulled up and left the d-man untouched...like completely not touched. Felt like our guys need to learn that there needs to be controlled urgency in every minute of every game in the playoffs if you want to make noise. Never mind that though, let's hope Hartley resets them and they come out flying on Saturday.
Re. Scotia Bank commercial: I grew up in Belleville and would like it known that for at least 10 years the minor boys hockey team has been the Belleville "jr Bulls". Before that, the Belleville "Bobcats". The girls minor hockey team has, however, always been the Belleville "Bearcats". Not sure whether that speaks to a lack of research by the maker of the commercial, or a cheap jab at a kid who may have never played hockey, and almost definitely has never been to Belleville (lucky guy) or some other unknown oddity, but I thought I'd needlessly point it out.
