Let's break down how the CMHL Conference Finals are going at this point...
Let's start with the Eastern Finals where we have Carolina and Toronto facing off. Carolina is up 3 games to 1 after winning 2-1 yesterday at home. Now they head to Toronto for Game 5 and the Leafs are kicking themselves after outshooting Carolina 48-25 but could only score 1 goal. Toronto is in do or die mode now and will want to force a game 6 back in Raleigh. Whether or not that happens, remains to be seen. Marty is in a very good spot right now, Aaron has a bit of work to get done but it's 1 game at a time, thats how he has to look at it.
The Oilers tied the Golden Knights at 2 a piece after a 5-1 drubbing in Edmonton. Vegas outshot the Oilers 46-23 but like the Toronto game, could only score once. Hischier had a hat trick for Edmonton and Markstrom stopped 45 out of 46 shots. Now it becomes a best of 3. Game 5 is a pivotal game as the team that goes up 3-2 in the series will have a chance to wrap things up tomorrow evening. I'm expecting Lou and Gino to pull off all the stops to do whatever they can for their team to win and have the upper hand.
