There were so many storylines in Game 5 to choose from. The big line was back together and crushing it. The defence spent more time moving the puck forward and less time playing paddy cake with each other. And Armia did his “once in a fortnight” impression of Dino Ciccarelli.
But, as a goalie myself, I had to talk about the goaltending. Throughout these playoffs, Carey Price has put up astounding numbers but hasn’t looked quite like himself while doing it. He’s been playing deep in his net and his motions haven’t been the same. In Game 2 we saw him attempt to make a stacked pads save because he ran out of steam in his butterfly slide.
