Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 3024536, member: 2350"] Usually the best thing going for a goaltender is how well the team plays D in front of him, which limits the number of quality shots. St. Louis outskated San Jose, specially after the hand pass incident. But I don't expect them to have that edge against Boston, whose bottom six are relentless. Also Boston is coming in healthy, so there's that also. St Louis could win if they avoid getting behind early, for Boston's counter-attack off turnovers is phenomenal and they love playing kitty by the door with a lead. They're physically stronger than SJ. I expect them to hammer Pietrangelo, who's been their key on D. Parayko will have to make a step upward. But you never know. It'll be interesting to see how this ridiculously long layoff affects each team. [/QUOTE]
