The best game of the year was the Tampa-Jets game that traded goal for goal clear into overtime!

[nutcracker]

So the Jets have “had trouble getting in Binnington’s head”.
Time to activate Big Huff - he has a more direct approach to the problem:

Maybe if he rag-dolled Binnington and Allen at the same time in Game 4 warm ups....

[nutcracker]

He was more of a beast when he was with the Hawks. I think he’s mellowed with age -he only beats up 2people at the same time.....

Always fun to watch.

Love me some Buff.

E.J. must be on Cloud 9 after that whoopin' the Avs laid on the Flames tonight.

Although not as bad as the whoopin' Ovechkin laid on Svechnikov.

Was so AWESOME! Extra cool with the Makar story. Kid wins the Hobey Baker Friday, plays in the NCAA title game Saturday, signs with the AVS and flys to Denver Sunday, scores a goal in his 1st NHL game, which happens to be a Stanley Cup Playoff game on Monday. That’s a Hell of a 4 day swing. Watched game two in Vegas and that was amazing as well.

Can’t believe Tampa Bay just got swept.

[elderboy02]

Loved the Nashville vs. Dallas 1st period. People were crushing each other.

Oh yeah... Smashville has the 2-1 series lead

Greatest 4 day weekend ever for Makar. His first NHL shot, even.

Tampa might have been the worst collapse I've ever seen in hockey. Tie the all time NHL wins record, then get completely dominated for 11 of 12 periods by the 8th seed. Wow.

Not disappointed to see the Penguins swept. Scott.

Tampa played like they knew they were the best team playing the eight seed and just expected to coast to victory.

And all of a Winnipeg is on the upslope of emotion again. Friggin’ roller coaster!

Duchenne looking like the best pickup of the rentals and Torts was grinning like a Cheshire cat
Well done CBJ!

[nutcracker]

Although Winnipeg native, Stone, is tearing it up for Vegas..

[Black Coral]

Poor Nashville. Dan you see the predators have a little light then the stars line just blows them up

No cup run this year for predators either

[icehog3]

Yeah, Sharks brought it tonight but I don't think they can beat Vegas 2 more times. I'm rooting for that Avs - Knights matchup, I think it would be great hockey, an fun too.

[icehog3]

Elimination game Monday in Dallas.

[Porch Dweller]

If the Bruins keep underachieving I'll be looking for a new team to root for this year. I'm leaning towards Winnepeg or the Islanders.

Well, my choices were narrowed down to the Islanders.

Islanders are definitely fun to watch, I wouldn't mind seeing them make the Final. Washington will be tough too. I'd love to see and Islanders - Blue Jackets East Final.

In the West, I just can't root for he Blues. Vegas, Colorado or Dallas would be fine by me. Colorado - Vegas should be a great semifinal....sorry Sharts, no chance you win three in a row against Vegas with your goaltending and defense. Pavelski would need to score 5.

[Porch Dweller]

The Bruins put together a good game today. They still spent too much time on their heels in their end, though. Should be a good game seven.
