[QUOTE="Ramrod2010, post: 1211059, member: 10435"] The more I think about it I feel like this is more than just a hot goalie series... The Hawks aren't getting any high quality chances nor are they getting bodies in front of Elliott for screens for their shots from the outside (which is probably a large portion of their attempts). Their stretch passes are also getting picked off or muddled up at what seems to be an alarming rate. It almost feels like they are stuck in the "pretty version" of the game that rarely works during the playoffs. This wouldn't be the first time that it's happened with this group, though in the past they usually acknowledge and correct it. Regardless of how Tarasenko and Elliott play the Hawks are too much of a deeper team (forwards at least, defense is probably a push) to be down 3-1. I don't know if it's on the coaching or execution but I feel that there is a fundamental flaw in this series. [/QUOTE]
