The final seconds of game 7 between the Habs and Leafs. Coming back from 3-1 against the Leafs is almost as good as the Stanley Cup and something to gloat about for years.

 

[dr robbie]

MAF gifting that late goal in game 3 vs the Habs is the one that keeps sticking with me. Completely changed the course of that series and eventually the Finals imo.

 

[JimmyH]

Price getting 2-ons nearly every period of every game.

 

[Reality Check]

The Mayor of Tampa making her guarantee.

Shades of Mark Messier.

 

[Unspecified]

When i shut off the TV last night not caring much

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Lots:

1) Habs coming back from 3-1 series deficit vs the Leafs.

2) Schiefle hit on Evans.

3) Oilers being swept.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

When it ended. Boring, dull playoffs that never grabbed my interest even when my team was in them.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Lots:

1) Habs coming down from 3-1 series deficit.

2) Schiefle hit on Evans.

3) Oilers being swept.

Out of all things that hit was the only thing that had people at work come talk to me about this years playoffs, these are none hockey people that saw that on their social media and news.

I'm also a motogp fan, and that's the same stuff. Only time "mainstream" media or people would ever talk about Motogp is when a big crash occurs, let alone when a racer dies. Sometimes I wished I were a basketball or a soccer fan. Then I wake up.

The Sabres winning the draft lottery.

 

[blundluntman]

Yeah the defining moment for me was the final minutes, everything before that felt like delaying the inevitable. Once it was over it really sunk in how dominant Tampa is historically. It's like watchiing a dad go easy when he's playing with his toddler son.

 

[GOilers88]

Kucherov's epic post championship interview.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Pulock's save in the waning seconds of East/Central semifinal game 4.

 

[Oil Spill]

Tampa being 18 million over the cap.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

What an amazing recovery for Kucherov! Injured all season and comes back for Game 1 to lead the playoffs in scoring.

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

When Galchenyuk made a blind pass right onto the tape of Caufield's stick in overtime of game 5. Caufield went down 2 on nothing with Suzuki and Suzuki scored.

It suddenly seemed possible they could come back from down 3-1 against the Leafs. Remember the ridicule and disrespect being heaped on the Habs leading up to the series and right up until they won in game 7?

This is the answer for myself as well. Vegas wins that game and the series otherwise and we see a far greater Cup final.

 

[Primary Assist]

It was 3-1

 

[McGarnagle]

Ovechkin yelling at his own goalie

 

[Grifter3511]

It may have been said already, but Perry getting a clear high stick in the face, bleeding pretty significantly, and no arm raised by the ref.

I feel that play pretty muched summed up the refing in this years playoffs, which often stole the post-game attention with all the calls that were either missed or blatantly ignored. This was an enjoyable playoffs, but other than TO losing after being up 3-1 nothing truly memorable or amazing happened (imo). So refs take the memorable prize.

 

[holy]

I liked the part where my team won. That was fun.

 

[Trade]

I liked the part where the Isles had Tampa right where they wanted them in game 7, and then gave up a shorty…
