If the Bruins can stop scoring goals for the Islanders that would be great

Habs sweep the team that swept the McJesus Oilers...Which probably means the McJesus Oilers were really, really, really, REALLY a team...

Ehhh...this series is a toss-up. I love the Isles' dogged effort (though, their system to me, is boring AF) and it'll depend on if Boston can break through it.

Frankly, I think whoever comes out of this is fodder for the Canes/Bolts.

Avs should be up 7-0. Crazy how much time they are spending in front of Fleury.

Wow...Knights have roared back for 3 straight when I thought they were done in Game 3...

That was the turning point if Colorado folds in 6...
They are now reeling.

Still recovering from that last game. So frustrating watching a second third period 2 goal lead disappear by stupid mistakes. The Landeskog pass that was for Graces and went off his skate was the worst to me. Even worse than the fact Bura didn't just get the puck out of his own zone. It is a simple concept. Don't turtle with a 2 goal lead in the third but at the same time you can't sell all out with desperate plays you would make if you were behind. That pass should have never happened. You don't need a defenseman of Graves caliper pinching in the early part of the third period with a 2 goal lead. Just total lack of awareness and judgment on both parts. They dominated 55min of the what 63min of game time. Every mistake pretty much became an odd man rush and a goal.

I honestly felt the Avs were the team to beat in the West but man, I don't know if they can recover against the Knights at this point...but, hey...you never know.

The Nordiques had this series and just let it slip away to the Knights...letting that 2-1 lead slip to a 3-2 loss was that point for Denver. Anyways, hopefully they learn from their mistakes because man, Colorado is darn stacked.






Habs are going to be mincemeat against Vegas.

4 straight for Vegas. Crazy

Deep down I wanted the Avs for nostalgia purposes but Vegas played great and will most likely end up in the finals

I don't see Montreal with a chance...

Vegas in 5.

Bolts in 6.

Every time I blink I find another reason to hate Vegas.

Exempt from the Kracken WTF? They went to the final their first year & have been in the mix every year.

Hate the fact they are insanely deep...Tuch is on the freaking 3rd line.

On most other teams, he's 1st line player and at worst, on the 2nd scoring line. Unless Vegas does an imitation job of Edmonton...they will plow through the Habs easily.

Wow...Bolts had no answer for the stifling Isles forecheck...again, I'm not sure I enjoy their style but that is one hard-working team Trotz has going over for the NY team. Islanders draw first blood.

They also cut all kinds of shady back room deals and took advantage of the rules so much so that they changed the rules so Seattle can't bend them, yet again another benefit for Vegas. Funny how half a billion buys you that shadiness, but Seattle had to pay 650 Mil and gets screwed even more. Definitely funny that Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft after all that bs
