I really wish we had put this away in game 5. Now we have to either:

- Win game 6, which implies the difficult task of going back into the Air Canada Centre, dealing with a revitalized crowd, sweeping the Leafs at home, and having to win yet another series on the road, or...

- Face the Leafs, who have been underestimated this entire series, in a dangerous game 7. Note that the Leafs have already won two game 7's while the Canes have yet to play in one.

I'm a little worried myself, but the Canes have proven to step it up when they really need to. Perhaps their *luck* will run out at some point, but they are still in the better position right now.

Even though the Canes were up 3-1 going into Game 5, I kinda felt like (and I'm sure they did too) that the pressure was on them to close out the series in that game.

Somehow, I feel like the pressure is on Toronto now to win at home in Game 6....

I am a little worried too. I think that Game 5 should have been ours. But I have confidence that the Canes will win this series.

The Canes are on 2-0 in Game 6 on the road

The Canes are on a 4-0 streak in Canada.

The Canes are going to the Stanley Cup Finals!
