The Perfection Line really isn't perfect, but they're damn close. Wow.
Boston has played 17 games this postseason. Both San Jose and St. Louis have played a lot more, especially when you count all the overtime they've played. Does rest matter? I really think it could... as much as I hate to say that.

Vince Dunn has been one of the best Blues' defenders. Oral surgery -- and lots of it, if you consider blood loss a measure -- could keep him out of Game 4. That could be a back breaker for the Blues.
Hand pass. The refs simply missed it. The game moves so fast. Bad bounce for the Blues. Hope it's not the same kind of bounce that screwed the Knights.
Tuukka Rask has been a beast. But he didn't need to be Thursday -- the Canes had just four shots in the second period and two in the first 15 minutes of the third. His teammates played wet, woollen blanket -- heavy, smothering and really irritating. The Canes had no chance.
Justin Williams' patience ran out. Then his luck.
It was fun while it lasted. The Storm Surge. Bunch of Jerks. Hamilton the Pig. This team is really fun to watch and they're good. I look forward to seeing more of them next year.
