When I googled "playoff push gif" this was the first result:

 

[RangersFan1994]

Predators suck. It was tied 3-3 going into the 3rd period. 8-3 right now to Edmonton Oilers.

What the f***, Rinne?

 

[mike14]

4 goals, 5 pts for Draisaitl. 5 pts for McDavid.
Although I'm pretty sure I would have actually been more capable than Rinne in goal...

Predators suck. It was tied 3-3 going into the 3rd period. 8-3 right now to Edmonton Oilers.

4 goals and an assist for Draisaitl. Already surpassed his last season point totals.

McDavid put himself back in 2nd in the scoring race too lol. Goddamn.

Looking forward to 2 players from the same team both finishing top-3 in Hart voting.

As more players from the '17 draft are finding success (Yamamoto, Suzuki), the sting of the Lias pick becomes more and more painful

Miss Cally. Was at that game he blocked the Chara shot to help get his team into a playoff spot.

Preds over has been money this year.

I like this potential change:

I like this potential change:

As long as the official rule uses the right version of plane.

Poile said when he fired Laviolette that the problem was the players. He was right.

Hynes is only the 3rd head coach the Predators have had in 21 years. The Flyers had 5 head coaches in a 5-year span in the late 90s-early 2000s--Cashman, Neilson, Ramsay, Barber and Hitchcock.

I like this potential change:

I can already see the rangers being screwed by this. But that’s just my pessimist thoughts when being a rangers fan.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I like this potential change:

Me too. Stupid rule to have to have the foot on the ice. Who cares? The point is the players entire body is not in the offensive zone whether the skate is on the ice or not. The NHL using common sense? Is this possible?

Islanders stink and they'll likely still back into the playoffs.

Bruins and Lightning in a doozy with Bruins up 2-1 with 2 and change left.

Could be a precursor to the ECF.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Bruins gave up only 21 shots in Tampa

Isles will be bounced early. Quick and painless.

Isles will be bounced early. Quick and painless.

Agreed. They simply do not have enough offense to sustain the Trotz trap that they employ.

Besides that, their goaltending isn't as good as it needs to be in a Trotz system as well.

I'd be shocked if they won a round if they even make it which still isn't a sure thing tho as I said, I think they'll back in because I dont' think we are ready to take that next step yet especially with the loss of Kreider and Igor.

Had those unfortunate circumstances not occurred, we might have been able to sneak in...not now tho!

 

[Cmox]

Eeesh i felt it watching that. he’ll have nice chin/ lip scare there, Like a villain. Feel better, Johnny.

Nice goal Campbell just let in.

2nd round because Bettman's playoffs are moronic.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Flyers at Capitals tonight!!

must see game

 

[Edge]

Ugh.

Boychuk has had an interesting career.

Once seen as a potential first round pick, he went in the second round of 2002. It took him until his D+5 season to get a taste of NHL action, and he didn't become a regular until his D+7 season.

But he's since enjoyed a 10 year career and played over 700 games --- and only with two teams since becoming a regular.
