I understand of course why game 4 is being called a "must win"; and I certainly go along with the idea that it's much harder to win the series if we go down 3-1.

However, strictly speaking, must win only applies when it's an elimination game. And I dont think that's just me talking. As perverse as it seems, even to me, this club doesn't seem to recognize "must win" unless it is an elimination game.

Of course I hope I'm wrong this time, or at least that they win it whether or not they see it as "must win" and I do expect them to bring it and even, I guess, to win Game 4. But I won't be shocked if we come back to the Palace down 3-1. And I won't be shocked if from there we come back to take 3 straight, ugly hard fought games.
