    This is a really negative take on it all.  Glass half empty.

     

    MOST teams don't win if they don't have their "star" players and this team is built as a team.  

     

    Of course the attention they attract frees others up...that's how it works.  But if they ("others") were useless, wouldn't matter that they had space...it's what they do with it.  And they did a lot last night.  Thing is, eventually other teams won't know WHO to cover because they'll all have the potential to score.  That's called a team.  

     

    EP plays mind games.  That was likely his way of saying here, give it a go.  I don't think you fully understand the psychology of it all and how, when faced with bullies, it does more to show you're unafraid than to buy into their program.  

     

    Of course we're all nervous.  But my good God, give credit where it's due?  They fought HARD last night...JT took a pounding out there.  But what they are showing is they're resilient and not intimidated.  You give far too much weight and credit to the BIG BAD BOYS of the league.  The goal is to win the game....our guys did that.  Handily.  Not sure why you're saying they had "no answer".  I'd pin that on Vegas.  Vegas plays one kind of game but we play(ed) another.  I don't WANT the boys to join the Reaves traveling sideshow.  

     

    We also have a goaltender who makes a big difference.  It's all part of having a great "team".  

     

    Worrying about the next game and setting things up to fail is more about you than them.  If they don't win another game they've given us damn good reason to be excited and optimistic about the future.  If it's not good enough, you may be looking for the wrong things.  Because to come back with conviction like they did after a blow out loss against a team touted to steamroll their way to the cup is a huge accomplishment in itself.  How about taking baby steps with them and seeing what kind of momentum that can gather?  Because we deserve to celebrate them today.  

     

    It's like people are waiting for the bubble to burst so they can say "see, told you so".  While others get that it's a lot of fun to watch our team in the playoffs during a difficult time in the world and really making a name for themselves.  It's pretty special.

    "That win wasn't good enough" is just so unreasonable to me.

    100% agree
