At least we have 3 game 7s to watch…LA disappointed me, but let’s go Fla, NJ and Seattle…

Yea every game went the wrong way this time. Now I don’t care if Boston wins or not - I’d rather them win than Edmonton.
think it’s going to be WCF of Dallas and EDM unfortunately, but Dallas is good and maybe Oettinger can be great…

That's what happens when you blow 3-0 leads when you have a chance to put a stranglehold on a series.

Ironically, Tampa also blew a 3-goal lead late in Game 4 and put themselves on the brink.

Sullivan once again is ahead of the trend! His teams have been blowing 3-goal leads way before all these other teams started copying them.

Kinda funny how all of these other coach’s can find a way to scratch players like ZAR, Blueger, etc. but our coach…

Must know what he’s doing tho. Won two cups.

It’s Connor McHeyzeus’s year. Is anyone else kind of willing to concede, with all due respect to Sid, that he’s the modern GOAT and it’s only a matter of time until he starts winning a few cups? This year will be his first.

You should be comforted knowing that even if JR hadn’t traded the KK pick away he said he would have drafted a D anyway.

Congrats to the Leafs fans, their team finally got that bit of puck luck they were missing. It was bound to happen eventually. Tampa's inability to win in OT is pretty baffling for a team with so much playoff experience and recent success.

EDM barely winning in six despite having a power play of nearly 60% efficiency is pretty crazy. Vegas have the second worst PK so far, it would be interesting to see if they can improve against this deadly power play.

And of course the Rags are going to play seven games, it was pretty funny reading their board after game 5, so much histerics and whining that the series was over. Not that other fanbases don't do the same but still.

To those Maple Leafs fans that might be confused today.

For clarification, the "2nd round" is further participation in a team tournament that is gained with the successful completion of defeating one's opponent in the 1st round.
Win, four - gets you more!

I watched a few min of the NJD game.... not sure I can comment on anything specific because I didn't see it. Oh come on now.... don't let those scoundrel rangers move on..... do not!

Boston Florida should be.... interesting. Which can get it together and will there be 10 goals tonight??

Yeah, unfortunately, it’s looking like NJ is going to let NYR off the hook, otherwise known as “Gallant changed the lines and the Rags figured out Schmid”….
ECF prediction now is Toronto-Rangers…I do think Boston will prevail in Game 7, but this is the Leafs year in the Atlantic…I think the Rags have Carolina’s #…they will score more on their goalies than the Canes can muster against Shesterkin…

No doubt in my mind he brings some Cups to Edmonton, he and Drai are too good not too.

Here, let me fix that for you:

"with all due respect to Sid, that he’s the modern current GOAT"

That is more palatable. We have a f***ton of GOATs. Why is my grass so high?

@Mr Jeff Jimerson HF Pens renowned anti-clutch playoff failure, #97, scraping by with 10 points in 6 games.
Kid needs to carry his own weight in R2 or the Oil are toast.
If the Bruins don't win tonight, I'm not a fan of hockey anymore. It'll prove my conjecture that this sport's rigged for ratings, theatrical, and sports gambling purposes.

No way the Florida Panthers would be able to beat the best regular season team of all time without extracurriculars going on behind the scenes.

If this was the 90's, Bruins would've swept the Panthers. But the sport is clearly corrupt these days.

Meanwhile, everyone is watching the Panthers/Bruins game. The outcome could really pave the way for the Leafs.
