Avalanche - Ducks
Well its over for the Avs. This writer for one is disappointed that the Avs couldn't even muster a win. However, that goes to show that the Ducks are ready to dominate teams, physically and mentally. 4 in a row gives the Ducks the luxury of rest, and lots of it before the next round. Ask Tampa Bay if the rest helped them in their quest for the cup. Which ever team comes out of the Sharks-Oilers matchup will be battered and bruised, but may caryy with them momentum that the Ducks will not have. Look at the Canes and Devils series. Everybody picked the well rested Devils. We'll se how that goes tonight.
Ottawa - Buffalo
The Senators did not "win" last night because of hard work, they won because Buffalo didn't show up like the other games. Its going to be very loud in O-Town for game 5 and Buffalo will want to get off to a quick start as they always do. Why is Arnason not playing? I know he's not regarded has the best two-way player, but he can put the puck on/in the net and Buffalo (Miller) hasn't seen him play all year cause he was in the Western Conference. He had 45 pts and 203 shots, more than the next 4 guys ahead of him. Take Eaves, Varada, Schubert or Kelly (0 pts and -4) out and put Arnason in. As a coach its your job to shake things up.
