...Long time reader, first time poster.
I couldn't resist posting on this topic as I feel the Siouxs chances are as good as any other team in the playoffs. Yes, I agree their PP and PK hasn't been spot on and that can certainly make or break a team. But on the other hand this team is a well rounded team with four lines that have nearly equal talent as they have proven this season. This team may not have the "big" names other teams have (although Duncan is a big name in my book even if he's to modest to admit it) which has been used to our advantage all season long. Opposing teams have a hard time keying on one one line as a "top" line. As far as other teams in the final five and beyond...one team at a time...one game at a time. My biggest concern would be BU. As far as peaking to early goes...forget it. This team rose once again from the early season depths and has been rising high ever since. As long as we continue to build on the momentum we have and have more success on our PP and PK we should do well in the playoffs. A well balanced team can go all the way in the playoffs and you never know how the puck will bounce (just ask Robbie Bina and Jeff Frazee)
Go Sioux!
