Momentum is a malleable thing in hockey, never more so than in a game 7. It seldom carries over past the final horn and a change in it is never more than a hit, save or goal away. Just look no further than the sea change in momentum after the disallowed goal the other night for an example.
Thanks for the kind words btw. My takes, such as they are, come from a love and understanding of the game. I do love me some Pats but I bleed Black n Gold. That said, my observations come from a dispassionate knowledge of the game itself, what I see watching the games and read about the team not a homer's love of it. I don't claim any special insight to the organization or the team's current scheme other than what anyone who follows the team closely might have, albeit it tinged with a goalie's perspective.
Certainly I'm no Deus or Triumph like savant who can magically see through to the deeper workings of the hearts and minds in an organization and pontificate on high with a certainty of knowledge that brooks absolutely no doubt.
Disclaimer: no one should make (or in Triumph's case make but not pay) any hockey wagers based on anything I might say.
