Post-Game Talk: Official: Hurricane Sebastian Downgraded to a Tropical Storm

[80shockeywasbuns]

He's literally one of the clutchest players in NHL history. That's no hyperbole. All-time leader (tied) in goals in elimination games.

Add three more in the biggest possible game without being one.

Are elimination games any game where the series can end?

Late after DVRing the game...Magic Number

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I was up in the air about even watching tonight. I'm not doing so hot mentally (just found out I may not have a job in a couple of months), but I'm glad I did. I'm still stressed af but the 3rd period improved my mood considerably.

hang in there - its tough for us fans but take care of your mental health first
I had to walk the dog after it was 3-1 too painful, but then I switched to Sam and Dave and got back into it

Always makes me uncomfortable to see that stuff.

Not gonna lie though, after the Devils blew g7 to the Canes in 2009 they showed a Devils fan (who must have been no older than 15 at the time) crying. I laughed my ass off because 1. He was old enough and 2. Devils fan, so f*** him.

Most of us have been there if we started watching sports that young, we just didn't have it on a TV broadcast for the world to see.

Truthfully, i’m giving Goodrow the number one star for the sole reason he kept my heart from probably having a heart attack when it could relax for a bit making it 5-3. Stress level was going through the roof those few minutes…

Got it and shot it in one motion. it was perfect.

No, that stat is facing elimination.

Nobody who's ever played in NHL has more goals facing elimination than Chris Kreider. That's kinda f***in crazy right?

He's tied with Messier.

If you don't know about how fun this is...

If you DVRd the game, go watch it again.
Make note of all the fans they showed while the canes were scoring.
Then see if they look as happy later...
So sad. #sadjerks

I’m an idiot, your last sentence clarified it but I didn’t read because I was too horny thinking about Chris Kreider

THE POINT STANDS

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Going to go read the Hurricanes board for my personal enjoyment!

Dave Maloney kills another Sam call. Guy is cheeks

I was about to say!

Settle into a bubble bath

So this morning I posted something about how Kreider’s comments before game 6 sounded like Messier’s comments before Game 7. Several people called me out saying that we don’t have a Messier on this team. Well tonight we did.

I couldn’t help but think about the end of the Messier game. I was crying and my then 10 year old daughter asked me why I was crying. Well, no tears tonight but just exhilaration about a legendary effort and a great win. For a lot of reasons, Kreider has been our guy here for a long time. One of my former players coached him in high school and he gave my grandson a stick after a game here a few years ago. He always comes across as the kind of leader you want your team to have. Tonight will be special forever.

Someday my grandson and I will be at The Garden when they retire his jersey. Hopefully it will be right next to a Stanley Cup Championship banner. It will be a joyous event.

On the plus side, the ESPN+ stream is close enough to the TV feed that I can actually watch the GDT without spoiling myself.

THE POINT STANDS

after reading it back, I am now unsure

 

[will1066]

Now Chris Kreider goes home, puts down his keys, opens his piano and plays Beethoven's Symphony 7 in the dark.

 

[duhmetreE]

Fox needs to be locked in a hyperbaric chamber for the next week...

 

[Machinehead]

When you're tied with Mark Messier, you're in good shape.

Unless it's hair.

 

[Peltz]

Also, shoutout to my poor dog who has no idea why I was running around the house after we took the lead but decided to join in and run with me. He's a real one

 

[kovazub94]

We witnessed one of the all time great performances from a New York Ranger tonight. Chris Kreider single handedly decided the Rangers were moving on tonight. Give him the C.

Tomorrow Messier announces that he hurried with giving his award to Trouba, instead he is giving it to Kreider, lol!
