Panthers are 8-1 in their last 9, 6 of those games won by a single goal, 5 of them in OT. No OT losses. All thanks to one player:

I think a comparison to the 21 Montreal Canadiens is apt, lowest seed in the playoffs getting hot off of a highly-paid goalie that people thought was cooked, and also being basically completely healthy while their opponents all have key guys injured or missing. Everything's coming up Cats!

Also worth noting the two games the Panthers won by more than a goal were both off of empty netters, so functionally it’s 8 of 9 games won by a single goal.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

Isn't every win technically by one goal? The other goals are, like, buffer.

Generally speaking teams records in games decided by a single goal tend to approach .500, so if a team is winning... *checks notes* literally all of them it's a simple shorthand to say "these guys are lucky as gently caress"

Honestly by the end I was kinda just numb to it and was like "thank god, I can go to bed now".

Now today, after an inappropriately low amount of sleep, it's really setting in and I'm just annoyed.

Oh well, both goalies played like legends, so I can't be too annoyed about it.

Many years ago in a hockey thread on here, a goon posted about a few dozen NHL player name anagrams, and Corey Perry ended up as “Creepy Rory”.

And that’s what he’ll always be to me since then.

I was in first year of university, living in Ottawa, and it was like 3:30am and I had an exam at 9am the next day. I was lying on the couch in the dorm common room watching the game and just praying for it to end so I could go to sleep.

Agree that 2021 Habs is the right comparison. They're going to get crushed in the Finals and I'm going to make a lot of money.

Losing games they dominate in the win-o-meter is the Hurricanes' specialty. It's like Brind'Amour and the front office set out with the explicit goal to break the fancystats systems.
