I'm nervous about the game even though I think we're clearly the better team and they're not great on the road. Mainly because it's hard to beat any team four times in a row, I hope we come out flying and get the first goal. We tend to play our best in elimination games, and as we all know Vasy is usually absurd in these games. Insane to think we're one win away from yet another trip to the Finals, what a run.

My feeling was we don't really do well in games where we have the first chance to clinch( and we have multiple games to do so ), so I looked back at the last two runs how we fared.

2020
CBJ Game 5 : 5-4 OT Win
BOS Game 5 : 2-1 2OT Win
NYI Game 5: 2-1 2OT Loss
DAL Game 5: 3-1 2OT Loss

2021
FLA Game 5: 4-1 Loss
CAR Game 5: 2-0 Win
NYI Game 6: 3-2 OT Loss
MTL Game 4 : 3-2 OT Loss

2022
FLA Game 4: 2-0 Win

So we are 4-5 in these games, which is better than my feeling was, but still not that good.

Well, as I also said after Game 5 - we've done this exact same thing four previous times in recent years in the ECF, and here's what happened afterwards:

2015 vs. NYR: Lost Game 6 (at home), won Game 7
2016 vs. PIT: Lost both Game 6 and 7
2018 vs. WSH: Lost both Game 6 and 7
2021 vs. NYI: Lost Game 6 (away), won Game 7

We've always won Game 5 in the ECF's tied 2-2 and lost Game 6 afterwards. Four straight times that's happened. We've twice had the chance to close it out at home in Game 6 and lost both times. We really need to buck this trend because it's infuriating. We're 12-1 in our last 13 home playoff games so hopefully that theme continues tonight in the biggest way.

I listened to ESPN radio this morning and for as much as I want to appreciate the laid back nature of the program that comes with two country boys with one talking about how he took a girl he wanted to keep dating to a Garth Brooks concert in 1992, the only thing they had to say was "NBA Finals"


Nothing about tonight. ESPN you might carry the game but you f***ing SUCK at selling it.
