More NHL playoff musings

It seems that the key to the Calgary Flames success is my blogging about their slim chances! The Flames ended up squeaking out a win last night, taking the series to 2-1 Detroit leading. Due to the aforementioned key to success I am obligated to say that the Flames have no chance tomorrow night and are only prolonging the agony of their eventual defeat. (Go Flames!)

Many of the hockey pundits seem to be mystified by what they are describing as "Martin Brodeur's mediocre play". I'm not sure that I buy into this reasoning for the tight series between the devils and the Lightning. Is it that Brodeur is playing goal at the level of a mere mortal or are the workhorses for Tampa playing some extraordinary offensive hockey? Lecavalier, St.Louis and Richards have found a way to get under Brodeur's skin and the fact that they are playing nearly half and hour a night must have something to do with the number of goals that have gone in the New Jersey net.
