A 6 th seed vs. an 8th seed. Has greed blinded the NHL so much? Has the unimportance of the regular season ever been so obvious? It must be to the Canucks, Rangers and Blues.

____________

definition: coolness and composure, especially in trying circumstances (ie: derived from the French “sang” meaning blood and “froid” meaning cold from the Latin “frigidus”)

No doubt you two are Devils supporters ? … well I say God bless you for that. Nonetheless, I’ll have you people know that for centuries “sangfroid” was the credo of the British Army. Marching straight into a withering fire from the enemy lines, the regular British “soldier of foot” would never for a second break rank or flinch ! … and nor would he ever fire until the order was given ! This is the reason friends why speak English today … and it’s the reason why the LA Kings will prevail as champions ! Sangfroid is as much a part of our team as water is a part of the ocean !

GO KINGS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would think as a player, one feels more pressure in the earlier rounds trying to get further along in the playoffs. They had their time to take in the fact they’re in the finals, the moment they step on the ice, as professionals, they need to corral their emotional side and stick with what got them to the big dance.
