Nathan MacKinnon is the Tyreek Hill of the NHL.

Minus the tweet game I presume... I don't even follow those kinds of things and I seem to always hear something about Hill's tweets.

Ullmark gives away the game.  He has not been great in this series. So there's that. 

Not true. 

Yes, he made a mistake in the OT. Puck bounced a little and there was a small miscommunication so it's an error, it's on him, and that's how OT goes but in the series, as a whole, he's made some big saves and kept them in the game during slow starts (almost every game has been a slow start for them). 

Bruins are having trouble dealing with the aggressive forecheck and they are making mistakes under pressure, especially at home, but it's definitely not Ullmark's fault.

Kraken are fun to watch. idk if they can actually pull off the upset but this team is built the right way. Heart and soul team with effort levels that are off the charts. This team has the foundation for constant playoff success. Really enjoying this series. Game 6 in Grungeville should be crazy.

That was a heck of a response by the Lightning, 41 seconds after being scored on, they score on Toronto.

Who knew The HC for the New York Jets Robert Saleh is also on the Toronto bench as an assistant coach, no wonder why I despise that team!

C’mon TB win tonight ya bozos

[Zamboni]

Is Kevin Bahl any good? Or just another tall drink of water who leaves something to be desired?

That Bisonette guy on ESPN is really bad at analysis.  He keeps saying “ that’s a joke” when describing the Leaves play.  He sounds like a fan, not a TV analyst.  He sounds like a fan that just drank an 8 pack of Genny Cream Ale during last period.  They were about $1.79 back in 1975.

That’s exactly who he is. He’s a major leaf fan. And just as delusional as all the other leaf fans.

Trono pulls goalie with 4:30 left down 3-1.  Panger is not liking it but @Eleven is pulling out the analytics.  

[Pimlach]

Leaves win a face off ( they are important) and score. 3-2 game on 

[Zamboni]

Fudge c’mon TB

[Pimlach]

ROR just played a 2:49 minute shift and won every faceoff which allowed the Leaves to score and control the puck. He will play after the time out.  
 

Tampa wins but man that ROR shows up.

It was impressive how NJ just flipped the series. Another reason I love best of 7 

[Wyldnwoody44]

And just like that the Knights have the lead.

That's why on the analytics, and I agree with you wholeheartedly on face-offs, and I am happy that TB won.

The series I'm mostly interested in--Rags and NJ--is upside-down.  I really thought the Rags were going to take the series and go all the way to the finals based upon the way they came out in games 1 and 2.  And now...wow.

Leafs better win the next game. Feeling the pressure

I really want TBL to win the series.
