ottawa_senators: Ottawa 2, Anaheim 3:

What. The. HELL. How can you play so well in the first period and so poorly in the second and third? Yikes! :(

The ducks got their faces reamed by Coach during intermission, they made a couple of key adjustments, and stepped up the intensity. Ottawa struggled to compensate for that the rest of the game.

    Chuq;
    Agree and good call. Randy Carlyle has done a great job all year and has been even better in the playoffs. His teams have adjusted between periods and continue to be very strong in the 3rd. Carlyle’s teams have developed a real knack at coming from behind and winning 1 goal games. Sure the Ducks have a strong and deep team, but without Carlyle I doubt they would sit on the verge of becoming the 1st Pacific time zone team to hoist the cup. _/jecook
