Looking ahead..the best series of the tournament
Right now, I like the looks of a Montreal/Ottawa final in the East. It's kind of a shame that only one of those two goaltenders can go on to the finals. I am amazed at the way that Theodore can take 3-4 times as many shots as the opposing goalie, and still wind up winning the game! Lalime has been unbelievable in the playoffs. We had an IHL team here in Kansas City for about 10 years, the Blades, and we had Lalime in the nets for one of those years. He did a good job, but nothing that would prepare you for the kind of performance he's been putting on.
In the West, Roy is showing some chinks in his armour. If the Avs go down, I like San Jose's chances of going to the finals. The Wings will get by St. Louis (perpetual underachievers, regardless of who they add to the mix), but I just don't think they will win the cup.
