2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round

[...]

Pretty one-sided officiating.

Just lost some respect for "Doc" with that homer commentary.

When he said “let me guess?” I must have missed it if otherwise, but I thought he was speaking to the obviousness of the penalty call.

That’s a ***** tripping penalty. Gotta help out the leaves I guess

It would be shocking for all the Canadian teams to get waxed the first round.

I'd rather see TO move on than Boston.

I was kind of hoping for a Leafs One

So you think O'Reilly undergoing a fundamental personal transformation over just a couple months that changes how he affects his teammates is more likely than he just is the same guy with better teammates? I guess it's possible, but I don't see how that would be the default. After all, people on this very forum were crowing about how poorly the Blues started as some kind of evidence the O'Reilly cloud was a real phenomenon. Whoops. 

I think people tend to take stock of their lives when big changes happen. When you have the opportunity to make a fresh start and you are self-reflective - it is not unreasonable to think about what went right and what went wrong with your current approach. I think this probably happens with smarter athletes all the time. When they are young, they can be cocky pricks. You know what changes that? Fanbases that turn on you and you get traded by multiple teams. When you couple the natural act of maturing, with a change in scenery, it is perfectly reasonable to assume any person behaves a little differently.

Every time I have changed jobs, I have approached my new job in a different way. I don't understand why these hockey playing humans are any different.

Just kidding.

I'm pretty sure that Brent Burns' puck moving decisions would be met with the same Risto inspired hate posts.

I'd still want him, though.

I'm incredibly jealous of Vegas hockey fans.

Vegas is the better team. I'll be surprised if they don't win this series.

Their fans can go screw, though.

OT in the playoffs is just fun.

McNabb just delivered the biggest hit of the entire playoffs, wow

Pretty sure it was clean, too.

The Vegas crowd is awesome.  

I watched the Leaves lose, hoping the Knight can put away SJ tonight. 

These games have been awesome.  I hope the Pegulas are watching how fans in 16 cities are being rewarded.  We now have 8 straight years with no playoffs.  In a league with 31 total teams and 16 playoff teams that is hard to do.

Perfectly timed hit

I wish we still had McNabb.    

[SwampD]

How great is Anson Carter? Admitting that when he was in the league guys would have beers in the locker room.

The McNabb of 2014? Oh god no!

Who could have ever imagined that the same 28 year D man would be better than the 23 year old D man?

[Wyldnwoody44]

Fleury went full Hutton on that one
