Call me nostalgic, but I can’t count out a team with crazy old Roli between the pipes come playoff time. The only disagreement I have here is the TB/Pitt series. Take the lightning in 6, provided the old bastard doesn’t break. In fact, I can see TBay in the conference finals (not the SCF) if Roloson holds up.
