Those who analyze hockey note that almost 40% of determining which team wins boils down to goaltending.  The experts put 'bout another 40% down to luck, getting the bounces, getting the calls that sort of thing.

The remaining 20+% is scattered amongst such influences as the match-ups, injuries, coaching, etc.  Moving your feet is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1 out of 700.

Factors such as playing with desperation, effort are pretty much irrelevant, of no consequence, yet remain buzzwords amongst the know-nothings.  Effort almost never gets the best of skill, all things being equal.

Pit has wanted to get back to Murray at some point, and Fleury's poor play last game, it opened the door.  

I called it, and was, again, proven to be smarter the the average bear.  Or goat.

Will go out on a limb, pretty risky, and predict that Pit wins the series in 6.

Ott was golden to get this far, the result of a fluke in the seeding.  They've shot their bolt, time's up.
