Were will Max end up!

I dunno really.

 

After the lockout, we added Toni Lydman and let Zhitnik and Satan walk, and suddenly went from missing the playoffs to making the conference final.

 

Let's not forget that the team was showing progress prior to the lockout. They started scoring goals in the 03-04 season.

Bingo.

 

And as I wrote in another post, during our two trips to the ECF, the deeper we got, the more refs would swallow their whistles, especially when it came to interference calls, and the more our play would suffer as a result.

 

Of course our opponents grew increasingly tougher as well, but I particularly remember the Sens constantly tying up the opposite winger on the boards, when a forward would fire the puck around behind the net.

 

That would NEVER have gone uncalled in the 05/06-06/07 regular season.

 

Happens all the time now, and nobody raises an eyebrow.

It's the only sport where the rules of the game change in the playoffs.

Yes you're right, and Darcy also adressed the physical issues by adding Grier at the deadline.

 

But I still think the new rules were the main reason for our success, though perhaps not the sole reason.

It helped, but there's never one move that causes everything. This isn't the NBA.

It's quite obvious that Max will end up with the Oakland Raiders. We all know Al Davis loves speed.

Maybe he can run the option offense with his head down.

He would just turn the ball over.
