Both Dallas and Philadelphia have one goal right now - win Game 3 at all costs. A victory will put each team back into the series and give them the momentum they desperately need right now. Winning does wonders, so expect both teams to display the mental toughness needed to win a game that basically controls how their respective series plays out.
You know what, strike the opening paragraph. We know what the Stars and Flyers need to do. They need to be better. Both teams need a few lucky bounces and take advantage of their chances. Their goalies have to stand on their head and steal a game if need be. They need to avoid penalties, they need, they need, they need...
How about the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins? What they need to do is win game three and put Dallas and Philadelphia out of their misery. The Wings and Penguins have proven they are the better teams and are two wins away from meeting in the Stanley Cup Final. Now, I am not expecting a sweep in either Conference Finals, but I am expecting the Wings and Penguins to move on.
