Colorado scares me because of Varlamov.</p>
</p>
But to be fair, we hit a bunch of posts, and luck hasn't really been on our side during the season series.</p>
</p>
I think with Crawford in the net, we at least get to OT or win that game in regulation.</p>

Possibly but I don't think Raanta was the breakover factor. IMHO the problem with the team last night was as a whole we brought the energy, but not the passing ability or the hockeyIQ. </p>

I like the fact that we kept up with them--a young, hungry, skilled team, but better decwsisions with the puck were needed, as well as the ability to compket a pass and not dawdle when we have the puck. Further, if Varlamint was giving up rebounds, someone has to *be* at the front of the net if we're going to go low to get the rebound (At least Saad figured that out), and if you're gonna go high, get in close like Kane.</p>
</p>
Just my $.02. I think we *can* beat them in a 7 game series, but we have to come out as hard, but way smarter.</p>

Oh, and don't dress 7 d-men. It didn't help.</p>
