Sometimes I hate how much I love hockey.

Think this is where we Europeans got the edge on you. After games like these you can say 'f*** it, it's already morning' and ride the day out. A bit tougher to do when it's still 11 pm or whatever.

 

[These Are The Days]

Looked a little slower and like he was avoiding contact, but as far as actually passing and even shooting he was ok.

With the weekend off before the start of the Finals that's good news. He's gonna need all the ice and cortisone shots he can handle to control whatever injury inflammation he has and God knows how many painkillers

We're going to wake up tomorrow, and breath the fresh air

Maybe the islanders will get somewhere when Trotz stops finding excuses.

I am most proud of how Rutta and Savard got their schitt together and made this team even better. The Bolts D has been lights out good on most nights. Having Vasi just makes us cheaters.

During elimination games hes so calm out there, its like he has Ice in his veins.

It's 12:10 but I'm happy tomorrow is Saturday I'll sleep good. I slept like ass after game 6.

I'm definitely waking up and smoking some hemp lol

 

[Fan from AK]

They just said only 11 goals were scored on the Bolts in the 7 game series. That is a stand-out stat!!!!!!!! AMAZING D!!!!!!!!!

What do you do during the day after a win like that?

To excited to sleep

On the day of Game 7 vs. Pittsburgh in 2016, I ended up dozing off in the middle of the afternoon. Not sure why; I didn't feel tired. Maybe I was just bored. End result wasn't too good.

Today, ended up doing the same thing. Maybe a mixture of boredom but also in part because the weather (or lack thereof) ruined my plans. I was going to go to the park, play some tennis, stuff like that, but the radar kept showing impending rain blanketing my area within the next 30 minutes. It hadn't rained before I fell asleep and, guess what? I woke up, and it was still dry outside. F*cking infuriating. But I guess the nap did help pass about 90 minutes of time before the game, while simultaneously leaving me to wonder just how I could be anxious about this game but calm enough to sleep before it at the same time.

Wonder how long it'll be before I can fall asleep tonight. The release of relief at the end of a game like that...I mean, it absolutely eats away at you during the game, but the more tension during the game, the more ecstasy there is when it all works out.

 

[StaySalty]

Point didn't get the playoff record 10 goals in 10 straight games. Guess he doesn't get a raise. Should help our cap.

What do you do during the day after a win like that?

A rough equivalent I find comes from being a soccer fan, and I'm just going to say that, using my favorite club team in Europe as the example...if they win, and especially if it's a win like this (important game that plays out as a nail-biter, and bonus points if it's against a top rival), that high will carry you through the rest of the day. Nothing can knock you off that perch.

If they lose, though...f*ck me. It's just a dismal day without much chance to be redeemed, at all.

My beloved Nerazzurri have done both to me, plenty of times.

I find that I don't sleep at all the night after these games, win or lose. My heart rate is always around 110 during games, my fitbit thinks I'm running a marathon. Makes it impossible to settle down after, and the late starts don't help either.

 

[JoVel]

What do you do during the day after a win like that?

Given it's a weekend probably just enjoy life with a few beers and a barbecue.

Last year after game 6 of the finals though I had to be working like 2 hours after the game ended, it was hell.

 

[Hoek]

lol nice. We were missing Stamkos, and even Point for a couple games last year and still got it done. Lame excuse.

Dude is so unlikable.

It's become a standard custom of mine to take a "cool off" walk after losing games, especially at this stage of the playoffs. Especially if they're bad losses like the Game 6 one was. From there...probably just aimlessly poke around on my computer half-reading or watching YouTube videos until my body decides to fall asleep (it ends up happening more than something I try and actively do myself). I'm hoping I've done that for the last time this season. The 4th of July is next weekend and I'd love to be watching fireworks with a sweep in my head for the next night.

Damn we have come a long way since Hedman colliding into bishop ala 2015 and the 2019 sweep. Feels so dayum good

Who knew it would really be John Tortarella to set this team in motion...

I saw that play as Bishop coming out to put a check on Hedman. There was NO EFFING reason for Bishop to come out of the net, I thought Hedman had the play.
