Me either, I thought Wild in 6 or 7. The cap will affect their ability to add anything next year. Maybe it is their turn to have half a team on LTIR.

LAK tie it up in the 3rd, this is a series I thought was a gimme for the Oilers.

Playoffs…

Craziness

That might be only part of my 1st round bracket I had correct.   Avs and blues advancing.    All my other teams are screwing around 😛

He may be a world class *****, but I’ve always suspected his game would translate extremely well in the post season.

The curse of Punch will haunt the Leaves forever.  The curse of Ballard will ensure that the curse of Punch continues.

In 1967 the Leaves were an aged team and about to start a serious decline.

The firing of Punch and the idiocy of Ballard will ensure that the Leaves will not ever win another Cup.

Enjoy your never ending replays of the '67 parade !!

Fun fact: the 1966-7 Maple Leafs had the highest average age of a Cup winner ever.  Maybe they are relying on youth too much?  😷

I love coming in here and finding my complete distain for the Leaf fans and being happy in their misery to be a natural and healthy thought process.

Wow.  3 game sixes tonight and 3 game 7s tomorrow.  High drama.

Most of GMTMs Sabres acquisitions are still performing in the playoffs.

The guy could identify good players he just didn't account for their locker room or extracurricular activities and it brought the overall team down because of it.

Playoff hockey is great! The consistent intensity is remarkable.

Murray was a solid scout of skill but had zero ability to judge character interactions. He was effectively a computer in that regard

Crosby is scratched tonight against the rags.

Although I don’t care for Crosby… I hope it’s not a concussion.

[Norcal]

Get well Sid.

One of the players in the league I have alot of respect for. 

Took a beating early in his career and ended up with all the concussion problems.

He came back, alot tougher and now he gives as good as he gets sometimes and still scores his points.  

I wish him well in life, and hopefully he recovers quickly this time around.

If they lose the series, I won't lose any sleep.

I heard it reported that Crosby indeed has a concussion.

Miss the "1940" chant so much.

Huge swing in the Fla-Caps game (I've watched a decent chunk of this series and it's been quite good).  Caps, trying to win at home to force game 7, cannot hold a 2-1 lead in the 3rd and Fla ties it with about 9 min to go.  Fla starts dominating the play, then there's a busted play in the Fla zone, the Caps hit the post, Fla takes it down the other end, works it around, and Barkov gets a lucky bounce to get it on his stick down low with the Caps goalie on the other side of the crease.  3-2 Fla with 5 min to go.

[nfreeman]

Caps have a power play with just over a minute left.  Reinhart just blocked an Ovie slapper at point blank range from the top of the circle

...but the Caps tie it!
