When you're coming into a game down 4-0, 6-1, 3-0, you're facing a very hot opponent and being asked to hold things down. Schneider is a future starter, not sure where yet...
And Timmy Thomas is essentially god this series.
And coulda, shoulda, woulda's never matter in the postseason. I agree with Laces Out, it doesn't matter what the score is what matters is wins. Being opportunistic is a good thing in the playoffs, especially against a goalie like Thomas who you have to take advantage of every small window against. Even outscoring Vancouver 30-6 or whatever it is doesn't even necessarily mean you've dominated the series when it's tied 3-3, it means you've dominated a few wins and haven't been able to do all that is necessary to win the rest.
