Cubs, Trump, Cavs, and even those Uconn women lost. Guys, this is when droughts end and streaks break. The Capitols are winning the Stanley Cup.

Oh no you don't! One of my panic-predictions will come true unlike the other three times I Toxx'd something.

McDavid's first playoff goal with the oilers looks almost identical to one of gretzky's last.

Both shorthanded, same spot on the ice, both goalies dead to rights, even celebrated in the same spot.

Expect to see these overlaid side by side in every oilers video reel for the next 50 years.

edit: put them side by side, pause Mcdavid at the redline play gretzky, unpause Mcdavid when gretsky hits the redline. Goosebumps.

I was led to believe the Chicago Blackhawks were the only good team in the West.

The West Is Bad™

They played a meh season, but were really good for February and most of March. A stats guru can post the numberinos.

No need to, I think that was what every Hawks fan said so it can just be assumed

Please. I had them getting humiliated next round to the Wild

Could someone tell a non-anglo about homerism? I know what the term means, but from where does it come from? Homer Simpson is the only homer I know but is this something older?

Your home team is always right and can do no wrong. Home team. Homer.

nashville's crowd is underrated. i went to a playoff game there like 4 years ago and its by far the raddest sports thing i've ever experienced. that arena was loving wild

They were handing out shirts tonight that said "You can sleep when the playoffs are over" in what I thought was a great dig at the league for scheduling these 8:30 (9:30 if you're Nashville) starts.

So the Blackhawks actually managed to score a goal. Finally. (And Have been scoreless 9 our of ten periods this series). If you've been following the TOXX thread this means one lucky Preds fan just won a new avatar. Courtesy of me. First one to reply gets it, anything they want.

Nashville and Chicago are in CT which means that 2 of their 3 games started at 7pm local time which actually makes total sense? They had an 8:30 local start last night, but they likely won't have another late start for the rest of the series.

Minnesota/St. Louis have a much bigger gripe, they've had a 2 pm game, an 8:30 game, a two day break, and another 8:30 pm coming up on Wednesday

This year. Last year (and the year before?) they all started that late, and it was pretty bad.
