NHL Playoffs

Bolts had a season for the ages. Hard to see anyone beating them 4 times, but you never know. I think my Avalanche could make some noise in the west.

The Wild would have been the team do it, but they couldn't get out of their own way. 5-4 and 3-0 were the H-H scores in favor of them. They ended up giving them 13% of their losses this season.

Islanders in!

How good does it feel? Just ask Robin Lehner (https://twitter.com/cultureoflosing/status/1112171956512714752)

Surprised the Capitals and Sharks are so low

Columbus wins at Tampa Bay for a 2-0 lead in the series.

Islanders won at home again, go up on the Penguins 2-0.

Oh c'mon man. The Wild have been ****ed since those retarded Perise and Sutter contracts.

I won't disagree with that, however, Parise actually has played to the contract recently and Suter is nothing more than a bum who eats ice time.

Flyers follow the lead of the Yankees by dumping Kate Smith.

And no series has ever had the road team winning game 6. We shall see tonight!

Playoff hockey is the best in professional sports and it isn't even close.

Super Bowl is the Super Bowl and the NBA and MLB sucks. NFL playoffs are good but none of them compare to NHL playoff hockey.

Just like that the Blues score only 23 seconds into the game....

Interesting article about the Islanders emblem. I hated the Gorton Fisherman.

The book they mention there, We Want Fish Sticks, is a great read. Amazing how terribly the organization was run on so many levels.

Different sport, but that sounds like the Timberwolves!

Story about when Pittsburgh changed their colors to black and gold. And why Boston was ticked about it.

Second OT, Hurricanes dominated the first one- looked like a ten minute power play. But they didn't score. 12th game seven in NHL history to go past one OT.

[Laker]

This is now the third longest game seven in NHL playoff history.

[Laker]

And as I post that the Hurricanes score to win game seven 4-3. We will have a new Stanley Cup champion.

Game 7s in the NHL are the best!

[OhioHen]

Both Cup finalists from last year - dumped in the first round.

Meanwhile...

The Isles look vulnerable as they seem... xsmhx

Disappointing end to what was an otherwise awesome season :(

Lots of interesting decisions to make in the offseason, really need some goalscoring (plus making choices on a few free agents)

Boston holds off Blue Jackets 4-3 to go up 3-2 in the series.

Blues beat Stars in Game 7 2-1 in double OT.

Interesting how well the Isles performed this year, after losing their top goal scorer in Tavares.

Why bother having replay? All of the officials missed the obvious hand pass by San Jose, who score and win in OT.


They say it is unreviewable. But they did review the 4th Mav goal in the NCAA playoffs by looking at replay and said it was offsides.


My big point is- get the call right. That is what you have cameras for. Sometimes you can't see enough to overturn it. This was obvious.

Yeah I don't get the "non-reviewable" play idea. If it's a blatantly obvious infraction fix it FFS!

[bonarae]

Meanwhile...

The Hurricanes better start planning for their immediate future... they were swept by the Bruins...

[bonarae]

Now...

The SCF starts tonight in Boston.

[Laker]

Blues win 3-2 in OT to even the series at one each.

Blues win 3-2 in OT to even the series at one each.The Blues took it to them in the OT, great game.

Blues are ahead after two in Game Seven 2-0! Can they hold on to win their first Stanley Cup?

Looks like this kid will be crying tonight.

Congrats St. Louis!! Al MacInnis was one of my favorite athletes from the 1990's!! Always had a soft spot for the Blues!! Perhaps now the Flyers can get their crap together?!?!
