That is very true. Most of our playoff series go 6 or 7 games and a lot of those games to to OT.
No, we need to be a team that figures out how to win series in more efficient fashion rather than beating ourselves to death.
What's going to get us in the end this year is fatigue among our top 3 defensemen, due to overuse because Trotz simply has to protect Orpik against speed at even strength and he doesn't trust the other defensemen enough to give them the minutes.
Either the Caps or Columbus are going to struggle against Pittsburgh, because they have been coasting their way through the Philly series.
OOPS - meant this as a response to DC's post, rather than yours, MS.
And as for the poll, I'd just as soon have more posts per page. Helps to follow the chain of thought a little easier.
