Exactly! If it was like 1/128th of an inch off in any direction it would have hit post or crossbar.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Montreal looking to play spoiler for the second round in a row. I'm ok with that at this point (sorry Johnny).

Vegas strikes fast twice late to keep the Avs from taking a stranglehold.

Just a lot of great hockey going on right now.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

The AVS losing leads is causing me blood pressure issues. Backs against the wall.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Tom the jets do what the jets do it sucks but this year watching playoff hockey I’m just happy for playoff hockey.

I miss that this was the year I could have gotten Derrick with the jets over oilers but he’s looking down and he knows :) miss you brother!!

Now we will see how the nhl handles border crossing and Canada still in lockdown. It has already been an issue with fans in stands since they haven’t opened the normal part of life but nhl gets special dispensation

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Sorry about the Jets, Johnny, #55 sure didn't help matters much.

Canada has awarded special dispensation, so looks like there will be games in Montreal.

Still rooting for the Avs, E.J., they need to break serve Thursday.

Bruins up against it tonight, hoping to see a Game 7 in that series as well.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

What a total collapse by the AVS. Super talented and young, hope they learn and bring it next year.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

F*ck RASK. It’s Swayman time to shine as the starting goaltender of the Bruins.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

I guess I'm rooting for the Lightning now.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Sorry to see the Avs eliminated. Vegas looks unstoppable right now, I hope Montreal can slow them down a bit.

Also sorry to see Boston go. I do like the Islanders, but that Perfection Line.....

What I want to see now: Islanders V Canadiens in the Final

What I fully expect to see: Lightning V. Golden Showers in the Final

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Rask is a perfect example of statistics not telling the whole story. On paper he's one of the best playoff goalies in Bruins history. In reality, however...

Re: Nhl-2021
 

The Habs appear to have something going......

I'm with Tom, I would not mind a Montreal vs NYI, but being a West guy, still cheering for Vegas(who if there is such a thing, is my 2nd team).

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Just a couple guys on Vegas who really rub me the wrong way, starting with Ryan Reaves.

I'd do my best Larry Merchant....but make it 5 years instead of 50.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

If Vegas loses the series, Fleury's going to spend the summer kicking his own ass.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

That was quite the faux pas, and with less than 2 minutes left in regulation. I was dumbfounded when it happened. Nice OT GWG by Anderson though, that one was no fluke.

Hoping the Islanders can tie up the Tampons tonight.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Crazy finish in Long Island. That buzzer-beating d-man save was incredible.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Rooting for Vegas vs. Tampa. Sorry Tom, but I like Reaves for some reason.

I can't root for Canada. This is America! :tu

And let's face it... there is nothing good about the state of New York. Tampa has Ybor City...

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Outstanding!! Was it Pelech or Pullock? Or Pillock or Polock? :D

Good chance you will get your wish, Dan, either Montreal or NYI winning their series would be an upset.

But just think, if Reaves gets eliminated now, that's all the sooner I can fight him. ;) :r

P.S......Canada IS in America. :D

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Sorry, the United States of America!!!!

We aren't letting people who buy their milk in bags be part of our country :su :sl

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Never seen a milk bag, unless you mean a pregnant lady's fun bags. ;)

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Wow, an 8-0 game that easily could have been 12- or 13-0.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

I won't let facts get in the way of my fun, Dan! :D

And if Barzal gets suspended, Islanders have an even tougher road to hoe.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Canada :bh

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Carry Price the anti-Rask

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Hahahaha.....sooooooooo...how do you really feel about Rask?!? :r

Re: Nhl-2021
 

That's one. -(P

Ca the Islanders make it two? :gary

Re: Nhl-2021
 

:cl

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Nice win by Tampa! :tu

Go Bolts! :tu

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Good win for Tampons for sure.

Let's Go Habs!

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Watched TB / NY at a bar here in Tampa the sport does have a solid following here … more than their baseball team has, go figure.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Except for some sloppiness here and there that was a pretty dominating performance from TB.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Nice job Bolts! :tu

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Tampons got the Canadiens a little bloody.

I know it's only Game 1, but I don't dig the matchup for the Habs.

Maybe with them riding an NHL record 14 game penalty killing streak (and their propensity to score short handed goals), they should ask the league to play Game 2 5 on 4 all game. :D

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Stamkos had a PP goal last night late in the third, ending Montreal's streak.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Was that goal number 5, James? I totally spaced that. Disregard my suggestion to the league. :D

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Yeah, it was the fifth. Tampa put five forwards out. They really wanted to break Montreal's streak.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

That's right, weren't they p*ssed about the penalty as well?

I am hoping for a better result tonight, but not very confident.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Nice win by Tampa! 2-0 series lead :tu

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Tampa looks unstoppable at this point, we'll see if Montreal can hold home serve. If not, they're done.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

You're not kidding! If Montreal doesn't come up with something new, Tampa could easily sweep.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

And I'd be lying if I said I had a lot of confidence in the Habs right now, Joe...and great to "see" you!

They beat the odds in Rounds 1, 2 & 3.... I will hold out hope until about 9PM CST tomorrow. ;) :D

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Montreal just has no answer to Tampa as yet. I never thought the finals would be a sweep, but with the way both teams are playing...

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Yup. I think Monday may be our last NHL game until September. :(

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Montreal surprised me last night, but I still think Tampa wins it on home ice on Wednesday.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Thanks, brother! :ss

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Always a pleasure, Joe!

While I'd like to see Montreal extend the series tomorrow, unfortunately I agree with you. :hn

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Unless the game gets delayed by a hurricane. :)

Re: Nhl-2021
 

I think Tampon should forfeit Game 5 if that happens. Best play Games 6 AND 7 in Montreal just to be safe.

Re: Nhl-2021
 

Who won game 5?
