Watching Kiviranta’s postgame interview was awesome. I really think he was trying not to cry.

An undrafted rookie with a hat trick and the OT GWG in game 7! 

Awesome.

And the GWG was set up on a very nifty play by none other than Reggie Sekera, working from Wayne Gretzky's office.

Vegas take a penalty. Here is Vancouver's best chance to win the game 

[Thorner]

167 to 267 for shots this series to Vegas. 

I can't believe an expansion team is going to lose 2 series, this early in it's existence, where it was clearly the better team.

This game kinda feels like Vegas will continue to dominate but Vancouver will jump on a loose puck at some point and beat Lehner.

I think they just said that Demko has saved the last 96 shots he's faced.

[Thorner]

^Vancouver is winning for sure

[KC Scouts]

Shoot the puck!!

[Thorner]

love me some pumped in crowd noise

[KC Scouts]

and Cinderella just lost her glass shoe

 

[Thorner]

yes finally!

[ubkev]

Demko way out of position on that goal from Tuch

[KC Scouts]

Na Na Na Na......Na Na Na Na...Hey Hey Hey.....Good-bye

 

A complete zero from Vancouver offensively. 

[7+6=13]

We need some men on our team so badly.

Lehner had 3 shutouts in this series.  If he plays well in the next round, someone will give him a nice contract in the offseason.  Good for him.

[Zamboni]

Love it....

time to kill Dallas

***** Lehner. He owes Buffalo an apology.

Haha it's funny cause being nominated for the Vezina wasn't enough to do that already.

Well, I think if he had crashed and burned in the playoffs, he’d have been looking at another short-term deal from someone, especially in an offseason with plenty of available goalies.

Who cares?

He was here.

He chose himself over his team.

***** him.

I wish him no good will professionally.

This is a very sad take to have.

Why? He didn’t care about us when he was here. Why should I care about him now that he is gone? Addicts need to pay their own dues.

Save of the playoffs from Lehner.

Demko was amazing but yes, that was a hell of a save. Lehner was very good. Did I just type that? Yikes.

maybe the question we need to ask is why he was that way when here and how he became different after leaving. Coincidence? Or maybe the culture here is simply not good. I don't have an answer to that but it does make me wonder. (I don't think O'Reilly has crashed into a Tim's in St. Louis either has he?)

If memory serves, O'Reilly got hammered and drove into the Hortons before he ever played a game with the sabres.

Now, the culture here does suck. But it isn't the reason that ROR DWI'd Timmy Ho's and then bought his way out of it. That has more to do with being young and rich.

I thought it was right after signing the big contract but I might have that memory wrong. Point is we brought him in as a key piece when he was like that. We also had party animal Kane raping the pillaging the town (allegedly) and well, in recent years there's more stories and rumours in that direction than in the dedicated athlete direction. Lehner came into that mix.
