Is it just me, or are all the goals scored in the NHL Playoffs come from the same general area?

Anger Management: Leafs Goaltending

MEN OF SCIENCE! Even the periodic table regales us with the chemical makeup of both Maple Leafs goaltenders
Do you know why I am ANGRY? My former favourite sports radio station, FAN 590, broadcasted after the Toronto Maple Leafs' victorious 1-0 shutout performance against the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier this week that there could be a goaltending controversy between fan-favourite James Reimer, who shutout the Crosby-less Penguins, and Swedish goaltending project Jonas Gustavsson, whose recent form kept the Maple Leafs in the playoff race for this long in the NHL regular season (Leafs currently in seventh o_O).

However, I am ANGRY because, while everyone listens to the FAN 590 when they say there is goaltending controversy brewing in Toronto, I say the EXACT thing more than a week earlier and no one listens to me! NOBODY! X(

When Gustavsson got the starting nod to replace the injured Reimer, won a string of games, and posted a pair of shutouts, I said there was a goaltending controversy WAY before ANYONE else, and NO ONE listens to me! My readers get what I'm talking about; they know I don't lie. This is the same man who said "What is the Bible?" for Final Jeopardy without reading the answer or knowing the topic and got it right way back in 2007, and who said "Major League Baseball will become all-designated hitter in both leagues before the start of the 2013 regular season". I caught and put it online for everyone to see, and aside from my enlightened readers no one bothered to ask for an interview, give me an hour-long syndicated radio program, or tell me "Hey Phil, Taylor Swift is on the other line; she is dying to talk to you about hockey, Mike & Ike candies, and she wants to hear your famous retelling of the Borschevsky Goal".

I'm angry...I'm upset. That's it! I'm not talking about hockey anymore! I'm done! I had it! I'm through! I'm going back to playing video games and getting fat! I had enough! Alright, it's working! I'm playing the same hours of video games I used to play, I'm eating an entire Delissio Pizza, I'm keeping my parents up all night by screaming at the television when I play NHL 97. Alright, let's go back to being in shape and writing about hockey.
