NHL April 2019/ Playoff Thread

After Vegas’s game 6’s OT loss I told a friend I was going to say something that no one ever expected to hear from me: I felt sorry for Fleury. And then after the Stars game (GO STARS) I felt sorry for Pekka Rinne. Both goalies in both those games were amazing, incredible, and I’m always sorry to see a great goalie lose. HOWEVER, mostly I am happy for Ben Bishop today. And happy for three game 7s to enjoy which will be especially fun since I don’t really care too much who wins them. (Leaning toward rooting against the Sharks however.)

have you seen our powerplay? If y’all want to win Game 7, put us on the power play for 60 minutes.:smack:

But seriously, why is Tim Peel a playpff ref?

I’m getting drunk for the Leaf game tonight: in fact I’m there already. They better fucking win.

Leaffan, I do feel sorry for you right now.

He can’t talk or type: he’s busy biting his nails just now.

He’s feeling better now, but 2 more goals would help.

Scabby….

tough loss for the Leafs… nice to see the Bruins playing strong tho

condolences, Leaffan

And tonight is another example of what it is like to be a Leafs fan for the last 50 years.

I hate the Bruins. Tough break, Leaffan. Care to join me at the bar?

:frowning:

Try being a Cleveland Indians fan. They last won the World Series the fall before I was born, and I’m 70.

It’s the spring and the Leafs are out.

Sorry, Leaffan! I thought they really outplayed the Bruins.

I guess Tavares should have stuck with the Isles – he might have made it to the second round.

Bring on the Blue Jackets!

I’m at a total loss as to what this is for. If you’re meaning it to back up your accusation of Benn and Subban being goons, it would be more effective to pick a video that either of them appear in. Also, it’d be beneficial if it was something more than a list of who on each team had the most fights in a season. If 2 fights in a season make you a goon, the word has lost all meaning. Actual goons are a rarity in today’s game, and goons by definition don’t win the Art Ross or the Norris, because they can’t play. If you’re meaning something else by this, some context would be useful.
Yeah, that was a tough loss for Toronto. It really seemed they had a chance until late in the 3rd. I don’t hate the Bruins, but I was rooting for the Leafs.

Thanks all.
I haven’t killed myself, yet.

Or a Pirates fan. I think I was still in diapers the last time we won the World Series.

At least you didn’t get swept. :frowning:

You can root for the Knights with me if you like. GO KNIGHTS GO!!!

Wow, I don’t usually root for SJ, but that move makes me hope they can put Vegas away in this major PP.

ETA: Hell yeah, from 3-0 to tied with 81 seconds left on the PP.

ETA2: Fuck, yes, 4-3 with 52 seconds left on the PP.

This is the most entertaining game yet. Vegas is beating themselves for that penalty. I hate Fleury anyway. FLEURRRRRR-EEEEEEY!

Sharks!

After game 4, it was looking pretty bleak.

Midway through the 3rd tonight, down 3-0, I had all but given up.

That was the craziest ending to any game I can remember…

we was robbed
