"That was the longest game I played ever," Khabibulin said. "I was seeing a lot of shots. I wasn't thinking about where they were coming from, I just tried not to panic." thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

At least you get more cheering time in the second round. Tampa is in tough against Jersey. Goaltending is more or less equal though you'd give a slight edge to Brodeur based on his experience versus Habi. The Lightning just needs to use their speed and youth to try and run rings around the Devils old team. lister

Go into the second with no goals, and it'll be a long night. bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong.

Going back as far as the '80s, they are simply the best two goalies of the last two decades and you'd be hard pressed to find a better goalie than them even right now. They've got the right attitude to rise up in the important games and the playoffs to dominate giving their teams a far better chance than what they should have. If it wasn't for Roy in 1986 and 1993 the Canadiens would not have won those two Stanley Cups. lister

In the games I've watched since '93, it seems that the only way to beat either of them is to score early - before they get their game faces working, and hope they leave their game faces off that night. ;-) bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong.
