I'm not that worried to be honest. We certainly wouldn't sweep this series and I thought it would go six or so games, but game 7 at home I'd put my money on my team.

We owned that overtime and were just unlucky.

But I do realize winning the Cup back to back is quite the task.
That is a fair, and realistic stance to take; back to back cups very tough, and a seventh game in Detroit would be very difficult for Anaheim. BTW, I have Datsyuk, Franzen, Hossa, Lidstrom, Zetterberg and Osgood in my playoff pool, so a 7 game Detroit victory would be choice.

However, I did have Getzy, Ryan, and Scotty Niedermayer in my regular season pool, so I'm very familiar with this Anaheim team. Adding Whitney was a brilliant move, and this team was pretty under the radar for most of this year. Who'd have though that Hiller would become the #1 guy? This is going to be a fantastic series. Anyways, I gotta jet for some schwarma... Boston VS Carolina starts in 10 min!

I've disliked him for longer than most, but the majority of fans want rid of him now.

I expect him to be gone in the summer.
We had a similar figure here in Galway, Tony Cousins (former Liverpool striker). During his reign of terror we played the worst brand off hoofball I've ever seen. After he was fired he became a taxi driver for a while and then got a job with the team that were bottom of the division below us and promptly got them relegated. He didn't last long there and I think he's gone back to the taxi.

He's only ever referred to as "The Spoofer" by Galway United fans now.

Calderwood has done an okay job finishing 4th, 3rd, 4th, and probably 5th, with the team with the 4th biggest budget in the league.

But we have continually bottled big games (notably in Cups) and the football has been dreadful for long periods of his time.

The team looks clueless at the moment and we going back to the bad old days of being a soft touch with teams being able to bully us.
