Makes sense. I imagine just the threat of being arrested would be enough to keep most people from games, but then again the type of person who sucker punches another fan isn't someone with a lot of sense to begin with

I'm already getting antsy with only being able to watch one hockey game every other day. How am I going to deal with the offseason when there are no hockey games for months? :ohdear:

I should not have underestimated the Lightning. They are so much better than everyone else it's disgusting, they really can get away with just turning it on when they need to and coasting the rest of the way even against good teams.

Yep. If the Rangers somehow win tonight I will be completely shocked. I’m not being chicken little here, the last 3 games they’ve looked unstoppable even if the Rangers had a lead.

Four times we have been up 3-2 in the ECF. We always win game 5 after going 2-2. And we’re 0-4 in those four game 6’s. Game seven is all but assured. And then? It’s a coin flip game. (We’re 2-2 ((50%)))

Aside from the last game, the series hasn’t been boring at all. IDK what you’ve been watching or if you just expect every team to be the Avs but c’mon.

Lmao at thinking avs vs edm was good hockey.


Good hockey should be a panic attack at all times resulting in acceptance of fate. Not goals on demand. Playoff hockey should be so unbelievably terrible for your psyche that all you can do to cope is bitch and whine in the GDT and pop antidepressants and after the game escape the reality of your team losing with drugs or the feeling of superiority of craft beer or religion or pretending to fight cartoon orcs in an online computer game.

Again, 5 sucked rear end and was boring. 4 was pretty intense with the winning goal coming in under the last minute. That wasn’t boring, you’re used to clownpuck (which is also fun, but that doesn’t make a close matchup boring).

What are you even talking about? Game 4 was 3-0 until the Rangers scored their first goal with 3 minutes left in the game :psyduck:

If I were Tampa, I'd save Point until Game 7 if necessary or next round if not necessary. I have a feeling Trouba is going to do a WWE flying elbow drop on his knee or whatever his injury is

This is the way I'm leaning but before the season started I remember reading someone saying "if you give Gallant bad players he will play them" and here we are where he's possibly scratching Kakko for Dryden Hunt.

Regardless of the outcome, good seasons for the Rangers. Had no expectations of an ECF appearance at all so everything since round one has been a bonus. I think they are pretty well setup for a good run the next few years which is exciting.

Game 2 switched me from "happy to be here" to "let's loving win the cup". It's my own fault but I'm gonna be sad if they don't take this to 7 (at least).
