Just a note I was reading through Elias for those fans of teams that lost Game 1. In NHL best-of-seven series, the winner of Game 2 has gone 381-150—winning 71.8 percent of the series. I have always believed that Game 2 is more important than Game 1. I know you want to set a tone for a series by winning at your own place or stealing home ice by winning game 1, but you lose then win the next game obviously you are back to square one. It’s like quitting your job at Dunder Mifflin and working for Michael Scott’s Paper Company. So good news for all those Capitals, Hurricanes, Flyers and Blues fans as they watch their games on Friday night. By the way if you are in charge of the remote control during two playoff games do not leave the room.
Now for my Thursday segment called top shelf, or goal scorer to watch. Nathan Gerbe had 30 goals as a rookie for the Portland Pirates, feels weird not saying Rochester, and now he faces talented Providence goalie Tuukka Rask. Portland the 3rd seed upset the mini Bruins in Game 1, and Gerbe had 4 shots. I have to root for a guy that more resembles a lollipop guild member than a professional hockey player. Well the last game has ended and like Martin Havlat I am getting out of this place.
