Game day preview: A lot of ifs

(no pressure, right?)

Let's play the IF game, hm?
IF the Thrash don't take a lot of penalties....
IF they can shut down the Canes until the 2nd, and play hard in the 2nd...
IF Johnny Grahame gets the start...
IF the boys bring their A game...
IF the Wonder Twins aren't paired up together...
IF Kari gets the start AND has gotten over his brother going back home to Finland....

Then the Thrash can win.

From the AP: The Hurricanes closed out 2007 with their second straight loss, 4-1 against the New York Islanders on Monday. They gave up all four goals in the second period two days after yielding three goals in the second in a 4-1 loss at Columbus.

Bodes well, but there are a lot of IFs involved.

Thrash by 1 in OT or Shootout.
