You're about to have an intermission to get their breath back.

Weird decisions sometimes.
Derek Ryan has the best faceoff % in the league of players who took over 100 draws.
There's less than a minute left in a 0-0 first period and you want to win that draw, control the puck, not give up a late back breaker.

Bill Peters isn't stupid.

I’m totally OK with a boring first period. We don’t have a particularly experienced playoff lineup. Keep things simple for the first 20 minutes. Let the boys find their groove.

Done, and DONE!

Quick question, who's Kypreos?

I love/hate how every frigin play seems pivotal when watching your team in the playoffs. The stress of the game is nullifying my buzz

Backlund is no slouch either, but fine, send him out for the draw then. I'd just really like to see, in a period where the momentum gradually shifted towards the Avs, an attempt to take advantage of an opportunity like that one. Get something positive going before the end of the period. Dont play scared.

I don't think its playing scared. I think he's being using that strategy in the dot all season for success.

Yup. Avs had no answer for 3M or the Benny/Neal line. Just gotta try and stay out of the box, and hopefully we'll pot a couple.

4:03am in London UK now. Assuming no overtime, I will get to go back to sleep for 1-2 hours after the game before the work day starts...
