Friday
Early post as I’m traveling later today. 1-1 yesterday as Florida lost and Vancouver won. To Sean’s point yesterday, I did know Florida has been excellent defensively in 5-on-5 play, but unfortunately they are last in the league in goals with 16 in 11 games. Their coach summarized for us:
We just weren’t sharp enough, we weren’t hungry enough and we didn’t battle enough.
There’s a joke about talent in there somewhere. Winnipeg lost in a shootout to Pittsburgh 4-3 and in the late game, Vancouver held on to win by about a second (Skip to 4:30 if the video doesn’t start there)
Options tonight are limited. Devils on a back-to-back are in Detroit and Indiana is an option for sadists at Boston in NBA.
UPDATE: Devils +155 and Pacers +5.5
