out of that group on those days, but they've been playing pretty poorly.

I think their goaltending is kind of the X factor.

Jed Greaves is okay.

Elvis Merzlikens is okay.

But I think the fact that they are the team out of those three, you know, where you have Sorokin, who's probably going to win a Vez for the Isles.

I know they crushed him last week, but whatever.

I wouldn't bank on it happening all the time.

And then you've got Dan Vladard, who's played really well for the Flyers.

So,

You know, you've got two goaltenders that are playing well on two of the teams, then you have another team that doesn't have it remotely figured out.

I think I'm taking the worst goaltending situation out of the three.

They're not going to play the Florida Panthers.

That helps.

That's Deuce Kidder's biggest issue.

He can't beat Florida.

He's been good enough to help them get to that point, or was good enough to help the Oilers get to that point over the last couple years.

I don't know.

I wouldn't pick him to win a cup-clinching game against, say, Edmonton, or against Florida, because we know he can't do that.

But that guy's definitely good enough to win a round of the playoffs when you're talking about

you know, Philly or Columbus or the early Islanders.
