That's where Montreal is going to want to, or excuse me.

That's where Carolina is going to want to pinch and offensively press down for Montreal.

Can they win those battles, or are they going to try to make those plays through the middle of the ice and then all of a sudden one errant pass or one play?

Some guys can do it.

Hudson, I know, can do it.

Dobson can do it.

Matheson at times can do it, but he has the ability to maybe not read it so great.

That, to me, is the area of the ice I'm going to watch really closely in the series.

Yeah, that's a good question.

I mean, we talked about that on our ride back, Kipper and Borny, Kenny Albert and Brian Boucher, who I'm working the game with, along with Jackie Redman.

You know, could there be a scenario where all of a sudden, and Freddie has played, obviously he's been very banged up in a lot of his career, and he always seems to play really well after being well-rested.

Well, you can't get any more well-rested in this when you consider the guy's 8-0 and he's had all this time off.

And then for Dobish,

I mean, has he come out of nowhere here?

I mean, I guess to a certain extent.

But Marty and seeing we did Game 7 in the Tampa series and talking to Marty St.

Louis before the game, it just kind of felt like, yeah, this is the way that we were going to go.

And he just took the opportunity and has done it.

Now, do both guys...

have both guys shown that maybe they could go sideways here?
