I think goaltenders are rarely a wash over the course of a 7 game series.
Both are big question marks at this point. Both have played well down the stretch, and both have never played a playoff game. I think Rinne will have to be considerably better than Niemi for us to have a chance, because he's going to be tested a lot more.
Offensnively, we have to hope for players to step up. It will be intersting to see if Hornqvist and Wilson can produce. If I'm Trotz, I give them a lot of opportunities. Our status quo (Arnott, Sullivan, Lewgand, Dumont) have not been able to up their games in the PO's in the previous attempts.
