What an entertaining and enjoyable series. Glad it turned out well for the good guys!

And for those of you who like to rip on PA, it's times like these where he's actually a fun listen.

I'm hoping the morning montage is epic.

I still remember my faves -- when Havlat signed and when Parise and Suter did. I had them saved somewhere, but now they are lost in the mists of time. :(

It's so awesome to see those injured / suspended players in the locker room. I actually didn't know what's their policy in the NHL. Like are they hanging with the team or just watching the games from the press box. Was actually going to ask before saw these vids. It's so good to see the whole team together. They're huge part of it too.

I know Russo said Yeo made sure the whole team flew out, everyone that was a part of it. It's a team game, I'm glad they did that and you can see in these videos that guys like Cooke and Rupp are absolutely pumped even though they are suspended and scratched.

It shows character, and it also shows how much of a team this really is that you can be that elated for the guys on the ice.

Love it.

So, update from my time at the Twins game.

I had to avoid looking at the outfield wall to see the game score. which was fine. had seats on the 3rd base line and was able to watch a ton of the game. Thinking to myself the entire game. NO SPOILERS! WOOP WOOP! My friends did a great job of shielding me from TVS in the proshop, etc.

Middle of the ninth inning and they decide to go to the highlight reel and blast the sounds from the game. I cover my ears, start shouting unintelligible crap to drown out the sound of LaPanta. Success, still no spoilers.

We get up to stand under the lamps and this guy comes up the stairs, "well 16 minutes to go............." once again, hands over ears and I run away from him like an upset child not getting a Hot Wheels at the grocery store. But, still no spoilers.

I had parked my Jeep in the lot over by the Gay 90s, dangerous zone to be in with the looming end to the game. From Target Field lightrail station to my Jeep, I jogged. Avoiding all of those sports bars and patrons spilling out for a smoke as OT was about to begin. I took this as a good sign that my exercise routine has been working as I felt good, and not winded. A minor victory of the night. Also had 3 seperate Minneapolis cops yell at me for running through intersections before the walk light came on. Sorry gents, but there is hockey to be watched.

Turn on the Jeep..........oh no.............the radio...............will 93x spoil it for me? NOPE, turn the radio down, plug in my phone and listen to a mix of Tool and Perfect Circle.

Make it home, watched the recording, woke up the entire neighborhood when Nino's shot went "PING" and LaPanta went bananas. What a game, so glad I stayed up to watch the entire thing.

Seriously! You have som dedicated friends! :) Well done sir! :handclap:

The original Heatley GIF was hilarious, but the furball is GOAT.

They got another Heater version now... :laugh:

Seriously, what was Duchene doing on that last play. It is OT of game 7 and he is gliding as he watches a 2 on 1. I can't figure out what he was thinking. Did the pressure get to him and he simply bonked?

I don't know the Colorado's system but with Erik Johnson pinching in down low I would assume he should have been higher in the zone to cover Johnson. Instead, he went towards the net looking for the Johnson centering pass. But yeah, he didn't recognize the 2 on 1 at all and was skating backwards.

Couldn't finish all the crow last night, so ate the rest of it for dinner tonight. Still tastes pretty damn good.
