i decided not to go to detroit for game five for a few different reasons: because my cousin's probably comin' in from ottawa, one of my besties is comin' in from australia (which i just remembered), and cause my boy strombo is in LA and thereby not accompanying me (and i have no other hockey-passionate friends, aside from all of you chumps)...
tonight, i would imagine very little in difference from tuesday night's game. that is, the same lineup and a similar game plan. if playfair deviates from either of these, he will prove himself the fool that we all believe him to be. the only acceptable exception would be for him to re-insert a close-to-100% healthy regehr, thereby removing the inconsistant zyuzin. if reggie's back and playfair benches gio instead, i will be seeking more bandwagon-jumping attire than just the rangers rubber "livestrong" style bracelet i've been sportin for a year and a half. i'll be lookin' for a rangers jersey...
with all the people gunning for giordano's return (or "giordino" as the numbskulls at cbc kept calling him the other night), i was ecstatic that he didn't disappoint. sure, there were scattered and occasional moments of defensive ineptitude by the rookie blueliner, but they were far outweighed by his offensive prowess. maybe it had to do with the aforementioned calmness brought on by a certainty of the rangers hittin' the second round, but i didn't hold my breath every time the 5/6 defensemen hit the ice, as i had done in previous games. dude's got a good career ahead of him, to be sure...
tonight's game is a tell-all. win, and we can feasibly come back and take one in hockeytown. lose, and we're sunk --no doubt in 5.
i still think harvey should travel with the team.... they win more with the tongue-less pooch in the building...
