Who's watching game 5? Who's hoping for a Tortorella meltdown?

 

[Simo77]

Am watching. Cheering for all the meltdowns. Torts, Toronto as a whole, all of them. I can't lose.

I'm hoping for another press conference like the one after Game 4.

Can't be eliminated in round 1 of the playoffs if you get eliminated in round 0. Toronto points to big brain.

That's some shade.

Flyers are on in prime time on Wednesday and Sunday night - afternoon game on Friday. Looks like I'll be having a 3-day weekend.

I'd never heard about this. Crazy. I know it was the 70's and stuff was different, but the NHL really let Brian Spencer down. It's really sad.

Quad OT to start the playoffs.

 

[Irishman]

You, me, and Bmack played our hearts out out there for 8 innings.

Shea Weber is a large man.

It's a good thing there's another game coming on, because I won't be able to sleep for at least 3 hours.

Modern problems require modern solutions in this suburban lifestyle dream. I just want muh'nerves to settle down. I haven't been this on edge since that time I forgot to read from the script.

Patrick Sharp's veneers are absurd.

Probably true, but anything is better than Jeremy Roenick's dumb ass on my screen.

By the way, Claude Julien is likely out for the rest of the Habs/Flyers series after being hospitalized with chest pains.

 

[goblue96]

Oskar Lindblom is about a week away from practicing with the Flyers. He’s in the bubble.

I like him but those solid bright white crescents in his mouth look so weird.

I guess it's better than shattered teeth

Why did Edmonton force the Blackhawks on us?

Sorry

Flyers what is you doin babby

 

[Irishman]

BUMS

 

[Bmack]

@Irishman took pto for this?!?

 

[Simo77]

Round Robin champs!

 

[kella]

Maybe the Caps coach can get heart troubles too and wake them the fuck up like Montreal

 

[Irishman]

@Irishman took pto for this?!?

Long ass week - needed the time off. I watched the Avs win also.

 

[Irishman]

These New Amsterdam Vodka commercials are the third worst thing about the NHL playoffs (after Pierre and Millbury). I'm sure those retired NHLers are nice guys, but these commercials are 100% cringe.

Btw, going to OT in this Caps/Islanders game 3. GOOD SOUP!

 

[Irishman]

Islanders win it on a gorgeous goal from Barzal.

 

[kella]

The Caps are the worst team in the playoffs.

Yikes.

Time to blow it up. Trade some pieces before they have absolutely no value.

 

[Irishman]

I'm genuinely surprised. They look totally uninspired.

 

[Bmack]

I need nutopia Hockey Expert @Irishman to way in hur. Are we seeing more overtime games than normal or is this typical of an NHL playoff?

Sudden deaths are guaranteed FANTASTIC FINISHES which are what is sought. I imagine a sudden death in a game 7 is extra tense.

 

[Irishman]

I don't think this is an abnormal number of OT games this year. However, the impact of those games this year is magnified because they're playing all the games in the same rink(s). I don't knew what the average is, but I don't think this year is different than usual.

Then I think I should pay attention to this in non-pandemic years as well.

Ovi has his cup and gives zero fucks. Trotz is still bitter he got fired after winning the cup and knows how to push all the buttons on the Caps players especially Tom Wilson.

Flyers and Canadiens going into the 3rd period up 1-0. Potential FANTASTIC FINISH incoming.

I wonder, will they be BUMS or NOT BUMS?
