If he has a few great opportunities that get turned away on great saves early he might lose it.

That was what led to the frustration for him last night, he knew he should be scoring and he was getting beat by a great goaltending performance, combine it with a chippy game and he came unhinged as you said. That is what made the Ottawa series go so smoothly, once you let the team and especially Sid roll with some offensive momentum they become an unstoppable force most times, when the opposite happens they just lose their cool.

The first few shifts, or first score really will be the determinant for him in game 2 probably and if it goes against him it will set the tone for the rest of the series.
