This was supposed to be the Ali-Fraser match, the best match-up of the playoffs. Until last night's game the series was pretty exciting. I ask though, where the hell did Alexander the Great go? Non-existent in game 7. Yes, he had that goal — but come on, who couldn't have gotten that? The goalie was 12 feet away from the net. Ovie did this last year too. He folded when the odds were against his team. It's not all him, I'm not saying that — the young goalie, the coach for keeping him in, the lack of passion or, at least, awareness that it was do or die from the rest of the team. Two of the three little piggie's houses didn't collapse that easily.
You gotta hand it to the Pens too. They played their behinds off. And I also credit them for not piling it on even more. It could easily have been a much higher score on their end. Mr. Crosby just added that number six on as payback for the cut on his lip. After all, he can be a big baby sometimes.
Disappointing for sure. Chris and I settled in for a nice meal thinking it would be a great game — in the end I almost wished I liked basketball enough to watch that instead. Seriously you say? No, not at all.

I know Joe and I were looking forward to a good game and we shut it off and went back off and on hoping it would get better, NOT!
Do you think the Canes are a team of destiny? 2 7th game wins on the road! That's impressive. I was watching that Pens series thinking the entire time, what if Brodeur and the Devs didn't implode in the last 1:28 of their game 7. Caps-Pens was exciting. I just wonder were we witnessing 2 offensive juggernauts or 2 teams that couldn't defend? And, did it seem Fluery had a few too many through the 5 hole? I say the Canes in 6. Crosby isn't going to score like that against Ward.
