Everything's working according to plan....mwah ha ha ha
Defense won this game for us. Mezei, who had a grand total of one goal this regular season, scored his 1st AND 2nd of the playoffs, Ohlund notched his 1st goal and Malik added his 2nd goal this post season. Sedin, Sturm and Afinogenov rounded out the 7 goals.
We tried something different in this game for the first time since game 2 of the opening round. Cheechoo was promoted back to line 1 which left Kariya going back to the 2nd line to add as much firepower as possible on the top line and although neither player scored, Cheech's 2 assists tells me something was clicking there again.
Goffie was almost exactly right. After saying there have been no injuries or ejections, Kariya was ejected at 9:11 of the 2nd period for injuring Antropov. Oh well, at least that works out to my benefit!
Series will shift back to Detroit for game 5 and judging from YG's comments earlier, that should be a good thing for the Sharks. Looking forward to it!
One more and we're in boys...one more!....Then 4 more!
