Can I change my pick?

Not because they lost game 1, but because they have lost their goaltender for the remainder of the series.

According to coach MacTavish, Roloson won't be back. Now, that may be posturing on behalf of the Oilers in order to be considered the underdog (it seems to give some teams a mental edge). In any case, the injury is clearly serious and the Oilers will have to use backup goalies.

I hope that I am wrong, but a Ward/Conklin duel is not a duel. It's like showing up to a gunfight with a water pistol.

I've been wrong before, I hope that I am wrong now.
