Haha amazing...

The GWG, while a rocket of a shot, should've been stopped IMO. Lehner was there, just whiffed on it. Props to Gurianov though, he got as much on that shot as he could.

It was definitely borderline for me. I ultimately didn’t give him a stoppable goal on that one because it was a one timer and he was unable to be in position fast enough, but he was slow in getting over too.

See I thought he was there but yeah, coin toss of a goal.

Khudobin is 5’11”. So nice to see a normal size goalie have success. Proves you don’t need to be a mutant like Bishop to have success.

Also, this has to be the first time ever we’re going to have two Russian goalies battling it out into he finals, no? I know Khudobin is Kazakhstani but he plays for Russia. Either way they’re from the old Soviet Union!

 

[FooteBahl]

Haha amazing...

Reminds me so much of Bryzgalov “why you heff to be mad?”

 

[Patrik26]

I also hate the don't touch the conference trophy nonsense. You don't have to drag it around the ice like the Stanley Cup but touch the damn thing and pick it up and take it to the locker room. Literally the dumbest superstition in sports.

A superstition that should have ended when (I even hate to say) Crosby not even touched, but held the damn trophy for photos.

Haha amazing...

That was great! "hwe're not goink home!"

 

[MadDevil]

Didn't Stevens touch it after beating the Sens on the way to our 3rd cup? i remember the announcers saying "watch this, he's not going to touch the trophy" at which point he basically picks the thing up.

I believe he did in 2000 as well, but didn't in 2001 (my memory is a bit hazy). So maybe that's why he did again in 2003.

No Point is killer for Tampa. If he is out the rest of the series, the isles could possibly come back.

Ivan Drago likes this.

Except Khudobin has a more MANLY voice than the squeaky-mouse-like whiny Bryzgalov.

I'm not of the belief that the absence of one player on a team like Tampa would cause them to lose the series while being up 3-1.

Besides, isn't that why they acquired Pickles?

They would be missing 2 players in Stamkos and Point that would be the best players on the Isles. That's a pretty big deal. Point has been the best player of the entire playoffs. I think it's a pretty big deal. And Coleman is no Point.

That said, yes, the Bolts are super deep and they should still win, but Points absence cracks the door open for NYB.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That's a bad goal.

If the isles win this, I think it goes 7

 

[glenwo2]

Pickles is playing pretty well.

And @Nubmer6 thinks *I'm the one* who is the one with the Hyperbole.

It could end up just going 6, you know?

Sure it could. But winning an elimination game like this usually gives a team a big boost in the next game. Then they usually run out of gas in the 7th.

 

[My3Sons]

Both teams playing hard. That’s all you can ask for.

 

[Blackjack]

Tampa getting more chances but NY getting some really good looks too.

 

[R8Devs]

edit: actually cant tell from the nbc replay

 

[NJDevs26]

How are the shots on goal only 33-21 in the early part of the 2nd OT? That's gotta be a graphic error, only 54 shots combined in four plus periods?!

Having turned on the game halfway through the first OT... I can believe it.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Really super to see how good Coleman really is. I mean, to have it confirmed. On our train wreck he surely looked good. But he’s clearly one of the best players on one of the best teams in the league. In the consistently better frame of comparison, his class really tells. He’s one of the best players in the league.

 

[tr83]

Yes yes yes
