Now..... Price is in Price mode. The kids look terrific. Corey Perry is doing Perry playoff things. They're mostly healthy (hope Petry is ok, worried he broke his finger) and they're playing a team game. Rolling 4 lines, everyone is on the same page. You don't have to be the best regular season team, you just need to roll at the right time. And they're doing it right now.
Everyone is saying they're screwed in the next round. They shut down the top goal scorer in the league in Matthews and held Marner to nothing. Wheeler and Dubois did eff all against them in round 2, you can't get a clear shot at the net right now.
Looking forward to whatever comes next. I wouldn't count them out.

Congrats man! You've been around these boards a long time, (and as far as I can tell) are one of the better non-flames posters.
Enjoy the run!
