NHL April 2019/ Playoff Thread

Yeah, amazing game. Hard way to lose a series and hard way to win one. Hopefully Pavelski is ok.

Yep. Too bad about the penalty, but it sure was a great game to watch.

Yeah, I mean four goals on one major? In playoffs? Unheard of!

One more game 7 tomorrow. I’m rooting for Canes. Wouldn’t be bad if Caps continue, but they don’t seem pumped enough. Either way, it’s home teams win 100.00 so far in their series.

What the FUCK???

Don’t EVEN. Do NOT even.

Condolences, Leaffan.

As I understand it, it isn’t the Leafs’ fault, but Bieber’s. Next year, Leafs need to ask for a restraining order against him. Condolences, Leaffan.

Because it’s more fun to have a team to root for, though easier on the blood pressure not to care too much, for the next round, I’m going to cheer for the Avalanche over the Sharks, because Colorado mountains are lovely, Boston over Columbus, 'cause I’m from the east coast, Islanders over the 'Canes (I hope) or the Caps, because the Islanders fan on the board is so charming. Stars over Blue Notes, because I already promised to “go Stars!”.

Hoping that tonight’s game is good!

Both Eakin and Pavelski were victimized by bad luck on the same play. Kids, do not attempt to bounce your head on the ice like it is some sort of basketball.

Condolences buddy!

Considering the Leafs history with the Bruins, they really made a series out of it!

Aw, shucks… It’s tough to be the lonely voice.

I’m with you on the Canes over the Caps for sure. I like Boston better than Columbus, but I have to think about the Isles next round, assuming they get past the Canes/Caps. I think Columbus would be easier to beat, but after what they did to the Bolts, I’m not sure.

As far as the West goes, I don’t really know those teams, so I’ll go with your picks.

Certainly some unique rooting going on there, and yes, probably easier on the blood pressure. Five seasons from now when the Canucks get in the play-offs again, take note of the lovely North Shore Mountains over Vancouver. :wink:

Wow I’ve never seen 4 goals scored on a major, play-offs or no. Quite the game when neither team you’re rotting for still has you on the edge of seat and yelling. Bonkers.

Thank-you, Scabs, for perfectly addressing Rent’s :confused: response.

Double overtime tonight.

Go Sharks!!!

It was like the Sharks let them get a three goal lead as a prank.

It was to get them overconfident and ripe for a comeback.

Four minutes left in regulation time and the game is tied 3-3. Go ‘Canes, keep the upset train a rollin’.

Will you relax, Penguin lover? The dude’s a Golden Knight now. :D. I figured you’d think he’s a sellout.

well hello Carolina!

I hope there is room on that Blue Jackets bandwagon for me.

So, not only has every division winner crashed out in the first round, but:

Tampa lost in 4 games
Calgary lost in 5 games
Nashville lost in 6 games
Washington lost in 7 games

It should come as a surprise to no one that Justin Williams was involved in the winning goal. The guy just produces in a game 7 pressure cooker.

“Mr Game 7”

And to quote Ric Flair, “TO BE THE MAN, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MAN!”
