Share your most defining moment in this Stanley Cup playoffs

TBL FL Game 1: Great game, great third period. At that point I was highly confident in the Bolts doing major damage and probably winning the cup.

TBL NYI Game 4: The Save. The first time during the playoffs I ever felt 'worried' the Bolts may lose the series. I still felt incredibly confident but I could see a realistic path to losing

TBL NYI Game 5: Domination. We won the cup that night. I was never really worried in G7 but that was fun too.

Chara's look before the handshake-line.

Despite underachieving for a while now, I found Toronto's failure to win a round to be genuinely shocking and the story of these playoffs, followed by the dawning realization that Tampa, Boston, Florida AND Montreal are right back in their division next year. This really was the year to take a step and gain some experience.

Kotkaniemi's goal in game 6, we had all the f***ing chances in OT and their first half decent opportunity went in

the series ended that night, game 7 was a formality

 

[Lolonegoal]

Montreal winning a game they were getting outshot 25 to 5 at one point.

 

[Hedmonster Bolt]

Coleman's Superman goal.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

Tampa Bay's team doctor writing bullshit sick leaves until Game 1.

 

[Devonator]

Montreal beating the heavily favored Knights....that stunned me and I would never have thought that would have been possible.

 

[dogbazinho]

Yeah watching Kuch skate without issue for the first time in months. Since I don't have access to practices I couldn't see him skating with the team for weeks.

Beauvillier's OT winner in the very last game in the Coliseum. An epic ending to an epic game in an epic series in an epic building.

And all Edzo could do was piss and moan about beer cans.

1. Lehkonen's series winner to send the Habs to the SCF
2. Kotkaniemi's OT winner in Game 6 vs the Leafs / The end of MTL-TOR Game 7
3. Fleury gaffe vs Montreal, Game 3
4. Toffoli OT series winner vs. Winnipeg
5. Jarry giveaway vs NYI in 2OT
6. Beauvillier OT winner in Game 6 vs TBL

Kucherov's epic post championship interview.

Calling it epic highlights how the standards for hockey player interviews are very low. Finally a player shows a small bit of personality and it's called epic. I've seen a couple of people here call it epic.

@GOilers88 I take this back. I just heard the full interview for the first time. I thought people were calling it epic just because of that one comment about Habs fans. But the full interview was pretty entertaining.

For the record, I have zero problem with the Habs fans comment and think people are overreacting.

Epic is probably a bit of an overstatement but you definitely don't see athletes be that open and loose during interviews. The beer chug and the table slap 'lets go!" was awesome.

Surviving Game 3 against the Knights, and Corey Perry running back out with half his nose hanging off to celebrate and chirp the refs.

That was the night they were supposed to prove Montreal couldn't play with the elite teams from the West. They had the better of play. They couldn't beat Montreal's team defense. After that night, it was pretty evenly played. But that was the night that we proved we could outlast a great team, and this became not just a fun chance to one-up our Canadian rivals, but a real run at the cup.

Corey Perry taking that obvious slash to the nose and celebrating on the bench with blood pouring down his face just became a perfect mascot for the moment.

 

[Chiarelli]

Not a moment but a cloud hanging over these playoffs was the atrocious reffing.

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Kucherov's press conference throwing shade at Habs fans and how it spawned 2 threads of people bitching about how classless he is. I absolutely love it.

 

[Lt Dan]

Game 1 of the Colorado/Vegas series. Hockey needs more hate and spite

 

[TheNorthStars]

Surprised no one has mentioned Tavares getting Perrys knee to the face.

Pulocks glove save is my best moment though

 

[sjsharks92]

Scheifele obliterating Evans.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Kucherov's epic interview!!!!

 

[Hockeyholic]

Entire Isles/TB series.

What a swing of emotions that was.

 

[winnipegger]

The Habs - Leafs series is surely what defines the 2021 playoffs. Biggest and most unexpected comeback from 3-1 I've seen in a long time.

 

[bov]

Fleury's misplay is right up there. Without that, you're probably looking at a Vegas/TB final. After that moment, Montreal got the life that they needed to win the series.
