I found this in my scrap heap, a post, started before round one, that I never posted.
- Will the Kings‘ power play wake up in time to stop costing them games?
- Will Justin Williams be healthy enough to make a difference, or will it be a replay of 2010, when he came back too soon?
- Will Scott Parse play his first game in five months? Is there any chance he can contribute after so long on the shelf?
- Will we see Jonathan Bernier?
- Will Saskatoon’s season end before the Kings’ season ends? If Brayden Schenn becomes available, does Dean Lombardi recall him, or send him to Manchester?
- How many games does Kevin Westgarth play?
- Will it be possible to avoid Jeremy Roenick’s opinions?
- Will the Kings slam the door on the score-a-goal-let-them-get-it-right-back plan that’s worked so well thus far?
Let’s see. That would be:
- Yes and (5 minute major in 3rd/OT of game six) no.
- Yes (game one) and no.
- Yes and no.
- No, and that was fine.
- Yes and no.
- All of them, and he almost won game one in OT, or did I dream that?
- Yes, for me anyway.
- Yes, but they replaced it with score-four-let-them-get-them-all-back, which worked even better.
