Skating on thin ice

You just can't let those in during the playoffs. Esche may have bailed them out in the late stages of the game and overtime but he gave the Lightning the lead. If Khabibulin was a tiny bit faster across the crease on Primeau's play, the series would be over. lister

Nice that the Flyers could get a win without Esche having to stand on his head. Keep in mind, though, that there is such a thing as >offense< and there are players on these 2 teams that could beat >any< goalie on odd man or power play situations. Tampa's goalie had a sub-1 Goals Against coming into this series...that hasn't quite held up either. Just sit back and enjoy. Last nights game was what hockey is all about, even if the teams weren't Canadian. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
