we expected to play EEA a lot closer than in our first meeting, but of course nothing remotely close to this!
our chemistry sucked back then and we learned a lot from the loss. we had some "arrangements" for Slava in place and our D-line got a lot of preassure which resulted in the picks. all or most of them were in hurry-situations. when the SIM decides that you're going downhill, you're going downhill fast!
i'd have loved to have EEA along with us in the WL, because to us you always were the team to beat and a great group of guys.
