Worst-kept secret IMO. It was a matter of time Stevie Y took over as GM of the Pink Things.

The top-seeded teams from either Conference are toast. Should be pretty wide-open from here on in...Preds, who are supposedly a contender, getting all they can handle from the Dallasota Norf Stars...

Leafs played a complete 60 minutes last night, so damn refreshing. Thought that first goal was getting called back for sure but I'll take it.

Sunday afternoon game on a long weekend to potentially advance sounds real good..

Ovy, double hand slashes a guy across the knee and then mocks the officials, what a piece of shit. Suspend his ass

Lord knows they won't, but some leadership. Guess he's been hanging out with Wilson too long

Losing his cool...what a D-bag. Hope they get the same refs Wednesday.

Last few nights of hockey have been fantastic...

Those buncha Jerks in Raleigh are looking good. Game 7 is a toss-up for both the Caps/Canes and Leaves/Bruins...

Hope the Canes advance. And I think Toronnah has to Toronnah and so, they'll lose the tilt against Boston.

I'm surprised the Stars are giving the Preds everything they can handle. I had the road to the Cup out of the West going through either the Jets or Preds...and well, one is gone and the other is teetering...

Flames are toast too. So, West is bloody wide-open. Best team on paper is the winner of either Sharks/Knights...Avs and Stars should just be happy to be in the dance esp. if the latter advances.

Stars

To be quite honest, I think we outplayed them almost every game.

Nashville 0% on the PP doesn't help. Our defense and goalie and top 2 lines punished them.

Rumor has it, Toronto's parade has been postponed.

Demons....they have one in Boston.

Edit: And Tavares still blows in the playoffs.

Toronnah...as I had predicted...can't handle the Bruins. And yet again, ousted in 7. Their window is closing.

Concur. Never understood why he is such a big deal. One Cup?

Heck, Q has 3 and he had to be his assistant.

Most overrated in the NHL and for no real good reason that I can say with certainty...

Goalie: Quick.
Coach: Babcock.
Defense: Karlsson.


The rest I am more lukewarm but, both of those...feel strongly regarding.

I still can't believe they made it to game 7. C'mon Sharks! My heart is already weak from the past two games, I don't know if I could watch this whole game.

Hoping the Canes dispose of the Capitals tonight.

Then hoping for a Canes/Avs cup so I can go to some games

Craaaaazy Sharks/Knights 3rd period.


What the eff is with these start times? Stars/Blues at 8:30... probably won't start til around 9? We are in the Central, not the Pacific. People work and not everyone can stay up til midnight on a weekday.
Just because an Eastern conference game is on the same day doesn't mean you need to start the Western conference game 3 hours later.. stupid NHL only thinking about TV.

Yeah it killed me with all the Avs/Flames games not starting till 10/1030 so having to stay up till 1am then get up for work at 530. I expect them to do more of the same for this round to with the Sharks sadly. Would it kill them to give us a 9pm start once and a while.

That 5 minute major and misconduct was the biggest joke I've seen all season... wow

Vegas fans might be clueless, but even they know they got screwed on that call

I agree. I thought it was a 2 min penalty for cross checking but that was it.

I didn't see it, but I heard that Sharks guy was bleeding afterwards which probably prompted it to be a major

He ran into another player and then fell down awkwardly, honestly I think it was more of a dive than anything

Either way, that call completely turned the game on it's head, I hate to see officiating directly affect the outcome of a series

That was the worst call ever. Should've been a 2-minute minor for cross-checking...to make it worse, the penalty was assessed to Vegas' best penalty killer too.

VGK's got screwed over. Still, it was an entertaining game. The fact that the team was able to tie it despite letting in 4 straight PP goals like that was remarkable.
