Well, if you had a good feeling if we LOST both of the first two games, I'd be a little worried about you

I've been saying this for a while, but Berglund is an extremely underrated player. I think he'll have a damn good series.

Can you break it down text-wise? I hate math.

Basically says Berglund and Perron owned the crap out of us.

Burns caused them fits though...

That's a bit of a stretch. I always saw him as a 9th/10th. So a pretty good plug for a 3rd liner, but not exactly a quality third liner. Who knows though, maybe he'll break out this post-season.
And that's a bit of a change of heart. Weren't you arguing that he was barely a 4th liner earlier this season and that the Sharks should waive him?

Looking at it for a bit - basically our top 6 (top D too) got dominated. If they step it up, we'll be fine 'cause bottom 6 matched alright.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right but ******* the Thornton line ate Backes up.

You are and they did.

From reading that chart, it seems like Perron and Berglund are the biggest threats. Anyone that can shut those two down? Maybe we can hit them hard (w/o concussions of course)
