GDT: 6/25/21 - 8:00PM EDT - New York Islanders vs Tampa Bay [SF GAME 7]

[Peacefool]

Last year, everybody on this board -- EVERYBODY -- wanted Yanni Gourde gone.

Tonight he scores a Game 7 winner to send us to another cup final, short-handed no less.

Wow I never wanted him out, he is one of my favorites

 

[Lightning1995]

What a performance, truly championship worthy.

 

[J T Money]

I was at that game, Hedman did have it. Bishop had just come back from an injury(surprise, surprise), and played it very poorly. Obviously Bish was Tampa's clear #1 at the time(although Vasi played well given the situation), but it was a big blunder early in a pivotal game 5.

I was 50ft away from that play...probably the worst sporting moment I’ve seen live.

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

this entire thread is the equivalent of a sunshine skyway jumper who didn't take the plunge.... thought about, talked about, but last second life dealt him a sweet card

 

[bodi]

Also 14-0 after a loss holy hell man keep this crazy streak going!!!

13-0. 7-0 last year and 6-0 this year.

 

[Antiramie]

Yeah nope

Nope what? He played the whole game...

 

[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

Just watched the Trotz presser. He continues to call Rutta....RUTTU for some weird reason.

What a thriller last night! At the bar I collapsed on the ground in relief when the game ended. This game once again proved we could win any type of way. Time to have the clock strike midnight on the Habs Cinderella run! Hopefully the Bolts will be well prepared with the Isles and Habs being similar type teams.

 

[Captain Lindy]

As a Ranger fan I'm forever in your debt. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Congratulations and most of all.....good luck!!

Those Cirelli 4 points came right on time. Scoring depth is fun.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I was hoping so bad after Cirelli scored in Game 6 that we were going to get a repeat of Cirelli scoring the series-winning goal in Game 6 against the Islanders.

 

[Hoek]

We'll have to settle for a Cirelli assist instead.

You had much better seats for that difficult loss than I did lol. My 1st ever SCF game didn't end as hoped unfortunately. Tampa had a good chance that year, but Chicago's experience in those situations was definitely an edge. Hopefully, Tampa can use that to their advantage this time around.

 

[The Gongshow]

We kind of sat back too much like we did in Game 6 just dumping the puck up high and then going for a change. They eventually had 2 or 3 great shifts in the final 4 minutes in which they didn't sit back and actually attacked.

great segment at the end of the game by Goodrow and then Killer

Gotta give credit where its due. Isles were opportunistic and gained instant momentum as soon as we took our foot off the gas. They played with heart but the talent gap was too big, also Vasy was superb when most needed.

Honestly those noise clappers are so infuriating FFS
