Leafs gonna Leaf

 

[Irishman]

Boston can turn it on so fast. Damn.

 

[Irishman]

Welp.

 

[silverwheels]

Boston can turn it on so fast. Damn.

They go through spurts where they look barely above average then out of nowhere they're destroying the other team. I dislike all Boston area teams out of principle but I almost admire the Bruins. And I'm a big fan of PASTA.

 

[Irishman]

Yeah, it's hard not to like Pasta. I totally love/hate Marchand.

 

[silverwheels]

 

[silverwheels]

Holy shit Varlamov. Isles are never out of a game against anyone, it seems.

 

[Irishman]

That was a beauty.

 

[silverwheels]

I think the Isles might be my team for the rest of the playoffs after Edmonton gets shitted out into a paper bag by Winnipeg.

Lifelong fan!

 

[Simo77]

Isles are usually a team I fall back on after everyone that I'm pulling for is out. They're perpetually the underdog and seem to overachieve recently but eventually run out of steam.

Leafs lmao

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

The last time I witnessed a playoffs meltdown that bizarre I was surrounded by @Mr. Radpants and 43K other Nationals fans watching Drew Storen not get a final strike to put Pete Kozma and the Cardinals away in the 2012 NLDS. The next closest thing I can think of was when Cleveland didn't have a single outfielder left alive when they were up 3-1 on the Shitcago Chubs in 2016 (@Gooksta) and couldn't stop the doubles.

 

[silverwheels]

Vasilevsky is on one. He might give Tampa a chance should they meet Colorado.

 

[Irishman]

This game was relatively unexciting. Vasilevsky just smothered everything. Good for Tampa getting two on the road.

 

[Wolfman21]

Canes are just too finesse to make deep runs in the playoffs. Team like Boston and Tampa are just gonna have their way with them...which they have, and will continue to have

 

[kella]

 

[Irishman]

There's an 'excuse me' goal from Brandon Saad.

 

[Irishman]

Also, Mark Scheifele is a goon now?

 

[goblue96]

Also, Mark Scheifele is a goon now?

Winnipeg is lowkey dirty since they play in Winnipeg.

 

[Simo77]

That was a hell of a run to take

 

[silverwheels]

This is the Vegas I expected to see the other night. Maybe they just needed the rest and Fleury.

 

[Irishman]

This is a much better game.

 

[Irishman]

Nice to see the Avs can win games in which they get dominated. Can't believe Vegas hit the post about a half dozen times.

 

[Simo77]

I fell asleep in the 2nd but was surprised to learn that the Avs don't just processes other teams every time. Still won doh. Gotta imagine that Vegas isn't going to win 4 of the next 5.

 

[Wolfman21]

somebody gonna have to die on the ice before Bettman and NHL player safety actually show that they give a flying fuck about player safety i guess.

 

[silverwheels]

Jets sweep Oilers
Habs make Jets look like scrubs
???
Profit

 

[Simo77]

Regulate the whole North division

 

[Karl Hungus]

Regulate the whole North division

 

[goblue96]

Tampa BUMS!

update: Both teams BUMS!

 

[Irishman]

No defense today?

 

[goblue96]

No defense today?

Hart and Elliott are in net.

 

[kella]

I just have less than zero interest in possibly watching the Lightning win yet another cup. What a dumb franchise.

 

[Irishman]

The cute server at the local taco place has a Lightning t-shirt on today, so I'm willing to look the other way today.

Truthfully, I'd love for Price to just Conn Smythe his way to a Montreal cup. Other than that, I'm really okay with any of the remaining teams.

 

[goblue96]

Nah. Fuck Boston.

 

[Irishman]

Nah. Fuck Boston.

I don't hate them the same way with Chara gone. They're such a strong team though. I like the way they play.

 

[Irishman]

Pasta going to see that gaping net in his nightmares.

 

[goblue96]

I don't hate them the same way with Chara gone. They're such a strong team though. I like the way they play.

They still have Marchand. Fuck him.

 

[Irishman]

So the Habs are petty good.

 

[goblue96]

So the Habs are petty good.

PETTY good.

 

[silverwheels]

Vegas

Shame this isn't the Final

 

[Irishman]

Vegas ain't bad.

 

[Irishman]

So Boston already looks insane tonight. This series is so Jekyll & Hyde.

Also, I suspect everyone has already heard that the Canadian teams will be allowed to host games in the next round in their own building. Assuming it will be Montreal at this point, I am looking forward to that West versus North Division semi-final.

 

[Irishman]

Marchand just scored one of the best goals you'll see this playoffs.

 

[Simo77]

That Marchand goal was nuts. The Islanders seemed to cash in everything.

Avs/Vegas vs Tampa it would seem. Watch the Islanders make it having never been picked to win a single series.

 

[Irishman]

Bruce Cassidy whining about officiating. Lol

 

[goblue96]

The pride of QUEBEC....still singing!

 

[Irishman]

That was boss from Tofoli.
