   Nope, I don't think it matters who the coach is at this rate, since I
seem to recall this team doing the "chicken' imitation under OTHER coaches
too. And the team has had a habit of not listening to their coach all the
time... oddly enough, they seem to listen to Robinson MORE than some of
their previous coaches yet we still see this half-assed crap regardless.

  I'm starting to think they are nervous and scared to death. I have NO idea
why, as they did this last year and won the Cup. Or maybe that's exactly
*why* they are gripping their sticks, hitting posts or blowing chances at
gaping empty nets or (Roy wandering out 2x in this series comes to mind,
talk about trying to give us 2 goals), or making awful decisions on the ice.
They were the so-called favorites coming into the finals and they sure are
acting like they feel the pressure.

  The #1 seed is not kind ot this team.. maybe it's an amazement they got to
the FINALS considering the past outcomes (1st and 2nd round flops).
