Analysis: From one goal to three, no lead is safe in the NHL playoffs this spring

Associated Press  

If you went to sleep midway through either of the Western Conference NHL playoff games the past two nights, there’s a good chance you woke up to a different winner than you thought. “Once you get to this time of the year, it’s so close, and you’re not going to see teams pack it in,” former player-turned-TNT analyst Anson Carter said Thursday. “The teams that win and have success this time of year are the teams that are able to recognize when they have momentum and try to keep it and when they don’t have it, try to get it back as quickly as possible,” Carter said. “You try to hold on to leads and sometimes you’re a little bit, maybe, too passive.” In that vein his coach, Kris Knoblauch, would have liked to see Edmonton push more offensively and make Vancouver defend. “You’ve just got to be better.” ___ AP Sports Writers Tim Reynolds in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Stephen Hawkins in Dallas contributed.
