GDT: long pile end knob wompers @ SAUNA

Cool that we did that.

With that said, that is pretty amazing that the Islanders (not an original six team) have had 82 games in the playoffs where they had a three goal or more lead. The Islanders of the early 80s were off the charts.

We've all been there, so I hate it for them....

...but not too much that I won't share and giggle.

Remember this from 2013? Hard watch by the end, especially for that dude on the right who lost his soul that night.

The person to focus on in that video is the girl in the back left. As the tone changes during the Boston come back, after each goal she has a shit-eating grin on her face that no one else is seeing as they are too preoccupied with the disaster in front of them. She even changes into a Leafs' jersey between the tying and winning goals....yet the big grin is still there after the goal.

What is the dynamic there?

 

[Svechhammer]

This is the best typo/auto-correct I’ve ever seen.

Anyway, like others have said, Pesce going down is worrisome. However, DeAngelo against the Bruins was great a few years ago. Of course he was awful against the Rangers, but can’t worry about them yet.

What’s the depth after Morrow though? Coghlan? Mendel? Fensore? Seeley?…woof

Pesce going down makes me very glad we picked up Orlov over the summer. It's not ideal to lose someone like that, but we still have 2 very good defensive lines and even with TDA or Morrow slotting in, still a very above average 3rd line. We can withstand him being hurt.

Don't want any more injuries on the blue line, however

She's probably a sadist.

One of those guys is her boyfriend (and they may be the hosts of this watch party) and she's effectively forced to be there, and she does not in reality share their enthusiasm for TML. She's either not into hockey at all, or she's really a fan of another Canadian team that failed to make the playoffs.

Oh I'm thinking that might be a nervous smile knowing that she's going to have a pretty miserable boyfriend for at least the rest of the night

"Does this mean we're done with hockey for a while now? Good."

 

[hangman005]

Rod said "not looking good" in the press conference, that it'll be looked at tomorrow.

Of course, given Rod's medical prediction record, that either means he'll be back next game or out for a year.

Sounds like day to day for the VGK, which can mean maybe a game or two, or they died and we're going to give the Pet Semartary a go first.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I love how no one in the background reacts to the 4th goal. It's like they all knew it was coming and had nothing left to care about.

Honestly, it's probably shell shock. I know I was still processing the tie before Marty scored. I can't imagine their feelings.

9 seconds. I barely had time to react after the tie. That was a shockingly fast goal, especially from the Staal line!

I think the Islanders were still in shock as well.

"kept the video going and got an even bigger surprise nine seconds later"

Yeah, I got the vibes that she's never really been in a situation like that and is just reacting to all the weirdly heightened emotions around her. Enjoying a slice of life's rich pageantry and all that.

Saw this on the ESPN article

The Hurricanes set a new NHL record for the fastest game-tying and winning goals scored in the third period of a playoff game. It was the seventh time in NHL history that a team had tied and won the game in the final three minutes of a playoff game. Carolina was already on that list, having tied and beaten the New Jersey Devils in a conference quarterfinal game in 2009.

I CAN. THEY ARE… TASTY.

THAT’D BE SOME HARDCORE EMOTIONAL BDSM.

I have seen our folks get in trouble for comments about checking enemy thresds.

Oh someone was playing the Bruins fan that night, just not sure it's her based on that grin.

 

[Borsig]

Oh its hilarious watching them call us trailer trash.

As we live on our 2+ acre green lots with woods and whatever while they live in rat infested squalor and a literal dystopian dictatorship state where the taxes are higher than snoop.

Keep hatin' greaseballs. and STOP moving here. You're not wanted.

I was literally typing a message for in here when the horn started going again

Absolute pandemonium in the arena. In those 90 seconds I blew out whatever voice I had left. Only now slightly recovering. Thankful my interview isn't til Thursday, lol.

Also just saw this. Playoff KK is a different animal
