Now I'm not REALLY superstitious ...... ok maybe a little.

One thing I know not to do is piss off the hockey gods, if history has shown us anything.

The Flamers seem to be flirting with both:

From Backlund's "There is no way we’re losing at home!" to Bollig's "accidental" beard trimming. :eh:

Seem like these kids are pretty ripe for the taking!! This thing ain't over, that's for damn sure.

:drink: :thumbs:

IMESHO, though supported by Hrudey, I don't think Lack wins that game.

I do feel that Lack still has some upside, unlike Schneider who I think had hit his panic-attacking ceiling by the time he got traded out. And I wonder if anyone here would still want a do-over of the Schneider trade?
As much as I like Lack I agree, Miller seemed to be more in control in the net and relaxed and I was not as worried about a weak goal.

The only think that made a bit nervous about Miller's game was his puck handling.....you can definitely see he's a bit out of sync with hid defensemen. In the crease though, more calm for sure.

I know kassian has his pros and cons but I really do feel his presence, hits and standing in front of the net would really benefit the team. I also think the idea of a balance scoring lineup would be much better off with hansen back in the bottom6 and kassian playing with the twins. I still haven't heard why he isn't playing. perhaps I missed his update in the past week due to focusing on playoff hockey. :P

Apart from that one mishap with Hamhuis that led to a turnover and some scrambling back to the net, I though Miller had a real calming influence with his puck handling, and even helped the breakout to some extent.

Agreed.

I don't think we'll win, but if we do then I think we'll take the series in 7. We have to come out in game 6 the same way we played the third period of game 5. We can't sit back and hope to weather a storm, we have to counter attack and pot one in. Going down in the first period would be disastrous.
