With a big lead (and >3 goals IS a big lead) you don't keep rubbing it in. You drop off and >check the other team, you DON'T keep rushing at the net. How can an expert (self-claimed), by any means, forget the Oilers and the Blacks Hawks JUST happen to be the victims of the two greatest comebacks in Stanley Cup history?
