    There is luck involved (poor officiating, injuries, etc) but I believe you make much of your own luck. If your team is put together right sometimes things just click.

    Maybe sometimes, but with hockey I've seen too many teams that are put together right, like you said, only to run into a crazy hot goalie, or lose a game on an odd man rush after hitting a post... all sorts of freak stuff nobody sees coming. All about being at the right place at the right time.
    I mean when was the last time Brent Burns - one of the league's premier defensemen - just dropped his stick? Happened to be in the corner at the end of the game, hagelin slides the puck to Bonino and the pens take game 1. If Brenter had his stick that goal never happens. Totally a fluke
    The hot goalie has cost a lot of very good teams championships and have won their teams championships ... One of the greatest runs by a goalie Patrick Roy '93 ... That run may never be matched ... How many playoff games did Hasek, Brodeur, Dryden, Parent, Richter etc..win their teams.
    I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin

    Like that the Sharks are up against it. Want to see them get stepped on -- no making it back for a game 7. Kick them in their collective balls, end it!

    The Penguins really needed this. They are aging and Rutherford has stripped the cupboard bare (and Shero before him). The window is/was closing. This could be it, so enjoy it

    If you’re looking to get into one of these games I have some advice for you. Work it, work it and work it. The Warriors ticket was easy. They had Ticketmaster drops all week. So I took advantage of that.

    The Sharks tickets were harder to come by. Never had a drop, but found plenty on the resale market (so I knew there was inventory). I showed up 4 hours early to the venue and went directly to the box office, nothing on sale. They said maybe at 4PM. I asked where to wait and was first in line. While waiting watched about 20 different people ask the box office the same question as me. Most walked away, only one other couple stuck around. At 2PM a suit walked into the box office with a list. I am called over and I score! So did the couple that waited maybe a minute. All those other people that left…

    If I had felt my chances at the box office were nil, I would have either worked the biggest parking lot or better yet a transit stop. People always show up with an extra or two. Very seldom am I denied and pay face value or close to it.

    WOW! What a great couple of days.

    Good Luck to the seekers!
