Shame either team had to win.

Another win closer [emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360]

It isn't but to each their own

Oilers doing oilers things.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs doing work, love it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kadri needs the book thrown at him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I bet he gets somewhere around 2 games.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs and Canes favorites so far? I have watched zero Canadian hockey this year so I can't tell you about them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Ok I'm ok with the Bruins winning this round but losing next round. Deal?:)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tavares just took a knee to the head while falling
Totally inadvertent, but it looked fucking baaaaaad.

Really hope he's ok.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hopefully the thumbs up was truly a good sign. Brutal...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lightning have achieved god mode in the 2nd period. My goodness.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Didn't see the Tavares hit, hope he's ok. Not a good start for the leafs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Omg I just watched the replay, watching him try to get up was hard to watch. Didn't look good. At least it's tied up.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This Isles game is bat-sh*t crazy. How many fans are there? 20,000?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yup, 100% - guys pulls crap like this every time the postseason rolls around. Repeat offender plus.

Yeah, scary to watch - hope he is OK too. Felt a little bad for Perry, not a big fan of his but no way he meant to do that. I get why Toronto went after him but there wasn't a damn thing Perry could have done different. Similar thing happened to Duncan Keith in the third to last game, took a hit was going down and the linesman's knee smashed him in the face - nothing wrong, just an unfortunate fluke play.

That was a pretty crazy game. I won't even try not to be biased I hate the damn islanders! Guessing a lot of Jeff Carter shirts will be bought by Pens fans tonight and tomorrow. Those announcers were brutally pro NYI and that is annoying but then again McGuire always annoys me. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Guess it only worked in period 2. Hope TB gets them Sat, not a big fan of FLA.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not ideal.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not having seen much of them this season due to the realignment I am damn impressed with Minnesota so far. KK (the hell if I can spell his name on pain killers!) already has the Calder locked up IMO and he is looking every bit as sharp so far in the postseason.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

We played like total shit outside of the 2nd. Never seen a team turtle as hard as we did in the 3rd. Fucking embarrassing.

Hopefully we can shrug this one off, but it's hard to ignore how many facets of our game look much worse than last year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

FLA is a good team though, I doubt many people expected a sweep or blowout either way. You had to know they'd push back and Quennville would make some tweaks. TB in six would be my guess.

Love Stanley Cup Playoffs, I can happily watch games from the drop of the puck in the first game of the night until the buzzer sounds on the last game of the night - just wish my Hawks were in there rather than Nashville but watching these great series' is just fun.

Holy damn with Fleury flashing the leather to preserve that 2 goal lead very late in the third. What more can you say about MacKinnon - he's got the look of a Conn Smyth frontrunner. Winnipeg just shut down the Oilers, wonder if they will fall apart after a game 1 loss like last season. Bruins won that last night on an awful blunder, man would I be frustrated if I was a Caps fan, bet that series goes 7. Hate the Isles and the Preds are just plain outmatched. Avs look sharp, I expect they win in 5 or so. Nice win by the Habs but not sure if they can sustain that, guessing the Leafs will bounce back quick.

Just some fun action and close games all over. Loving it and will happily deal with a little less sleep.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Havent popped in here in awhile.

Just awful to see that Tavares injury.

Pens/Isles has been amazing so far, but BOS/WASH has been even better.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Carter trade was awesome - he's exactly what they've been looking for for about 4 years now since Bonino left.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh I wasn't trying to take away from the Panthers. Before the series I thought predicting a winner was a total crapshoot. Getting Kucherov back helps a ton. We can win without Stamkos. But we have a lot of holes and Hedman not being 100% is definitely showing.

Also not the best time for the worst 3rd period showing of the season, but I guess the silver lining is that we're still up 2-1.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go Bruins!!!!!!! :bounce:multi:bounce:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, that trade was great for the Pens - he is solid everywhere, great addition. That said I am not sure Jarry has it in him for a deep run, his gloveside is atrocious.

I didn't figure you were taking anything away from FLA, I was just saying they are a solid team and have the tools to come back. Regardless, I still have TB in 6, they are just a better team with far superior goaltending.

Cheering for the refs in that series, two other teams I cannot stand! :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Murray's glove was worse.

NBC loves to run with that narrative all the time across the league, thats where guys shoot now because most goalies low blockers are so good.

He absolutely has let in some soft ones so far, especially GM1, but it wasnt an overarching issue throughout the season for him.

Im not 100% sure if he has a deep run in him either, but that narrative is just tired imo.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bounce back tonight. You have the Swordo guarantee!*




*Swordo guarantees are only valid in Iceland and American Samoa.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Caps seriously haven't looked like they've given a shit in the playoffs since Game 5 ended in Vegas three years ago.
