Kathleen - While I applaud your belief and cheering for your Maple Leafs your posts, when it comes to real analysis, are based on hope and fantasy and not on fact. (Sorry I don't mean to come across rude or like I am flaming you but your statements here are inaccurate.)
1. Spezza does not have 'first appearance' gitters. Last year in Game 5 in the Conference FINAL he single handedly brought the Senators back from a 3-1 game deficit. The team rode this to force a deciding game 7. If anything, Spezza is not a bang 'em player and the style in this series is not to his likeing, which he must find a way around. But in no way shape or form is it gitters!!
2. The Leaf PLAYERS have yet to show in any game that they want the win. Game 5 was a snooze fest with a fortuitous own goal giving the Leafs the win. The other victories were ridden on the back of Belfour. While his netminding has been great, its a bit naive to suggest the Leafs are going to take the play to the Sens as they have yet to show that for any sustained period of time, let alone an entire game.
3. SQ brings a very valid point and as I have played sports before our teams never thought of previous encounters and 'getting in our minds' nonsense. You mentioned SQ can't speak for other, well then how can you? (an aside, did you play team sports?) Truth is you don't know what is going through their minds eihter so don't speak for them!!
BTW - Your assesment of the injury situation may not be known until game time. Sundin is still very much a maybe and Joe won't know until he gets up tomorrow morning.
