This is going to be a fascinating season for the Steelers and Pickett. Will they be able to prove the naysayers wrong and make some serious noise in the AFC North? Time will tell. Halak — remember the T-shirts that were all the rage in Montreal that spring with "Halak" inside the outline of a stop sign? “I was potentially capable of buying into that if I didn’t watch him play college football in Pittsburgh and deal with the elements that comes with playing in this environment,” said Tomlin. “So, you can get into the ‘hand size’ thing, or you can just look at how he performed in a variety of conditions. And so, it was probably less of an issue for us [the Steelers organization] as it was just in terms of some of the draft chatter.” The decision to take Pickett over someone like Malik Willis was obviously an interesting one by Pittsburgh. Especially since the front office seemed to be expressing so much interest in the Liberty standout. When the Devils lost 3-0 to the Flyers in Game 5 of the first round, there were definitely some cheers in the bar. The Lightning have provided the blueprint for how to win in the postseason. The Oilers were not supposed to be this good, this fast, and were definitely not supposed to sweep Les Glorieux. It would take three more years before the Oilers would supplant the New York Islanders to win the first of five Stanley Cups, but make no mistake — knocking off the Habs in three straight in 1981 was the upset that kick-started the dynasty. The frustration that was evident in the play of the Bolts after just two games at home said a lot. All those relatively modest moves have created a synergy that makes the Leafs a better team from the top of the lineup to the bottom. That made it all the more important for different members of the Leafs to step up, and they did just that. Last time out, Olympique Marseille suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Olympique Lyon and was outshot by three in the matchup, 11 to eight. How important was the bottom of the lineup in Game 3?
