It's not sour grapes this - the contest is over.
What's the point? Roloson is gone. I'm not saying throw it all in, just give it to carolina - but it might as well be so.
Conklin is no Roloson. From nhl.com:
Conklin hadn't played since the regular-season finale on April 17 when he allowed two goals on 18 shots in Edmonton's 4-2 victory over Colorado. That snapped a 19-game stretch of inactivity for Conklin, whose previous appearance was on March 7 against Dallas.

The penalty shot by Pronger was the highlight of the game. Watching Roloson leave with a right knee in jury at 5:54 was the low light.
yes the canes came back from a 3-0 deficit. yes they turned it on. Yes they tied it up. Roloson didn't manage to protect the lead- or the Oilers didn't, anyway.
All not the point now.
It's a crappy way to lose, but it's also a crappy way to win.

Okay, we got to get you out of that Toronto frame of mind...its the opening game...the lose of Roloson can rally a team to be more cohesive...they might play harder knowing they have a weaker goalie in there....

Geez, its only the first game...come on now, get yourself together!

Gotham is gonna need all the help that he can get blueandwhite. Hey I just came up with a GREAT idea. To make the games fair this series why don't the 'Canes just give Edmonton a 3-0 lead at the START of the game. You know just to make it fair
