Yeah, he went from goat to hero pretty quick. I blame the game 1 loss on the fact that the Cubs were in the arena. Any team in that close a proximity to them is destined to be a loser.
if he can keep up the play from game 2, the Hawks have quite the talented young goalie on their hands. Plus, playing in the playoffs is an experience you just can't teach.
I like seeing young players perform well in the playoffs, like Doughty or Edler in the Nucks/Kings series.
but man oh man, anybody else catch the San Jose-Colorado game last night? Anderson was huuuuuuuge. Patrick Roy like. Just unbelievable, then Dan Boyle scores on his own net. HA
