I’ve never played this “5 Things” game here on the blog. Seems like a great way to get the writing juices flowing and since I’ve been struggling to finish up Tapeleg’s challenge, I need all the help I can get. And now that there will be a game seven, I will be blogging at least an extra day. And…hit it!

- If Luongo wins the Cup, how does he even look himself in the mirror? Seriously? Can he look in the mirror and say to himself that he played at the top of his game? There are all kinds of examples of guys playing well enough and winning it all. Playing not to lose. Manage the game as they say in football. Not possible as the goalie on a hockey team.

- Late in the game the NBC crew was discussing whether or not Luongo should be allowed to face the press, post-game. They agreed no. Really? What about the fact that Luongo has already shown that he couldn’t handle the pucks coming at him. But he can’t handle questions either? That just makes him look worse in my opinion. He’s supposed to be a veteran, a leader, former captain…and they need to shelter him? I’m writing this as the game is still on so I won’t change my opinion regardless, just that it is being discussed is amazing to me.
This isn’t specific to this game, just specific to Tim Thomas’ beard. I think any minute he is going to go wading out into the middle of an icy cold stream, grab a jumping salmon and have a pre-game meal. Nom nom nom.
